Atomic theory from the perspective of evolutionary epistemology

Such is the case also of scientific social life where as Max Planck would say: A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light but rather because its opponents end up dying and a new generation grows familiar with it. her this gives us insight into the presence of people who do not change even until the last minute of their lives since evolution is not totalitarian but rather democratic and although the possibilities of subsistence may be greater for those who evolve there is a minimal probability of surviving without apparent changes perhaps due to a need that we do not understand.
