Unfortunately so: a dark age – the first in modern history.
Alone Zwicky was strong enough in 1929 to avoid the blunder. His Cryodynamics (a modern term) is still being ignored along with the economic bonanza which it enables. Hence Neophoby is reigning much as it did in the middle ages. So along with a superstition adopted by the whole planet called “the Big Bang Theory.”
The word “Blunder” is appropriate because a hypothesis of the very kind avoided by Newton is being collectively embraced. Hypotheses non fingo (I don’t conjure up hypotheses) he said. Now the whole world is getting bet on the Big-Bang hypothesis: at CERN as no one denies.
Poor France.
