Another, laconic way to express this scientific truth is "Experience exists; time does not".
It's a tough nut to crack, and a difficult pill to swallow when one's scientific tenets and paradigm are just slightly out of kilter. A miss is as good as a mile, and even though here in 2015 the Cartesian-Newtonian-quantum-relativistic paradigm is a wonderful set of epi-cycles making up our current initial scientific approximation, it also has a few too many fundamental flaws in it which absolutely require adjustment/correction.
What's worse, though, is as the news comes to light and the new dawn begins to break, the emerging improvement, while a huge and general improvement, it is still, as it only can be, a disruptive improvement in fit. It's better, but not perfect and we all have to come to grips with that fact. This unsettling news is apparent to or at least available to everyone in the global classroom. We get to see it. It is like we all get to look into this second Copenhagen interpretation and become more deeply aware of science and to choose between imperfect, uncertain approximations.
Science during paradigm shifts is especially wonderful. Don't you think?
