In spite of this, or perhaps because of this, new theories, theory fragments or approaches appear year after year, and sometimes month after month. A large part of them is due to philosophic dissatisfaction with the dialectic features of modern physics and hence retrogressive rather than progressive; they usually have a short life and are soon forgotten.

He brings his investigation to a logical limit, and then it becomes clear that scientific activity, understood as dealing solely with received results, is not compatible with creative thinking.
