History proved that: in the past classical physicians thought they knew almost everything of physics. They *really* thought there would be only some isolated cases that had to be explained. This was until Einstein came and pushed the horizon of knowledge to a higher level! The horizon is artificially made by human beings, more precisely by their theories. Only such a horizon makes you thinking "if a field is very advanced it becomes harder and harder to make contributions.". We should not think like a chess engine: "there is nothing beyond the search horizon.". There is no real horizon. Alessandro
