Classical Physics is here to stay (even when it's wrong, it has its educational days. T'was ever such).
Whenever word goes out that a formerly forsaken Classical concept has made a 'comeback', please recall that in the vast majority of cases, it - the Classical, archaic or passe - was not absent from wherever it had been temporarily abandoned or forgotten (in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd places?).
(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words. "All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus "Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein "Particles give me a headache." - Ibid |
