NP but quantum physics

[John Bailey]

That's very cool and very W.A.S.T.E.

revolutions - science doesn't progress in an orderly fashion but
endures periods of conservative complacency during which revolutionary
ideas are suppressed, until one day the floodgates burst and
everything is up for questioning.
