From W.A.S.T.E. on FB. With my response. Have at it. Should be interesting.

For the moderns and postmoderns, new scientific theories, and
especially the ones that suggested that the previous theories were
fictions or narratives,  flawed conceptions, limited or reductionist,
or partial or backward or wrong, though they often claimed the truth,
and, before they were sanctioned by power, were often feared and
condemned by the authorities, then made the official theory. That the
common misconception that Einstein somehow made all things relative or
that Heisenberg confirmed the uncertainty we have come to accept as
the modern and postmodern condition or that artists must brush up on
their Physics is a rather rigid reading of the complex relationship of
science to art and of the importance of the ordinary understanding of
the modern and postmodern experience.
