Ow, wise man.
Can you explain me this fantastic thing called "progress." How can reality "change"? Surely, our clever* scientists today answerred this question more insightfully than the ancient Greeks (Parminedes, Heraclitus, Plato, Aristotle,...) and the ancient Indian philosophers.

* i.e. scientists who probably don't even have the time to understand what their colleages on the opposite side of the hall-way are doing
** ok, this is probably to harsh: most hard-working scientists are more modest and skeptical about their enterprise; it's the enlightened science-fanclub watching some youtube-movies and looking at some nice pictures of the galaxy in a popular magazine, who really "know" science.
Thats understandable. I dont have really anything else in mind when I say "We've made progress." Once we thought everything revolved around Earth and now we dont. Scientists are human beings that take a modest approach. I think thats what I respect most.
Sorry, Foreigner.
