Do you have a hunch on which sort of commonly accepted scientific facts are about to expire or get overturned or get refined, let's say? I mean, so there's like the term like the Lindy effect where it's like things that have been around for longer, kind of more likely to stay. Like my grandfather, by mention, before he and so when he was in dental school, he actually learned the wrong number of human chromosomes. There was this like 20 year period where we had been able to measure like to count the number of chromosomes within a cell but we didn't have a really good visualization technique. It wasn't until mid 50s where they all have this better
