Are researchers really standing on the shoulders of giants?

>> No.11270742

most of them are riding on the coattails of giants.

If by "giant" you mean thousands of other researchers, then yes.

If by "giants" you mean slavery, capitalism and white privilege then yes. Have you ever seen a black researcher? The reason is she isn't allowed on the shoulders of giants... no blacks and no dogs. Despicable.

Both of these were the first animals to visit space, retard. There is no place for hatred and bigotry in science.

Yes, and the giants are really annoyed that researchers won't get off their shoulders.

Sometimes kind of. Generally not. Even the giants of a given era or area of some field have their insights based on either very basic observations anyone can make just by interacting with the universe, or the totality of their exposure to the sciences.

It's pretty vague. Giants may have been an actual thing in Newton's time to a much clearer extent, but not so much anymore.

>>11271101
There's photographic evidence, bones, and credible accounts as recent as the 1930's. In addition to the vast global "mythology". The suggestion that there were never giants is somewhat absurd.
