MODERATORS
They had to accept the null hypothesis. Not a bad thing, the point of science is to determine what's true, not reinforce what you want to be true.
Unfortunately when it comes to paradigm shifts this is not the case
Academia has a huge problem with arrogance and stubbornness
This is just not the case. When Schrodinger proposed the wave equation it did not take long to become commonly accepted. It didn't even take long for Einstein 's theory of relativity to be accepted by the scientific community either, even though the implications of that theory sound completely insane to human intuition.
It took longer for Darwin's theories to be generally accepted, though, and somehow some people still won't acknowledge them.
