More than half a century ago, I remember the conservation
of energy principle being modified to: "Energy cannot be
created or destroyed *by ordinary chemical means*" - right
after WWII. It took some time for the meaning of e = mc^2
to soak in. :-)

You need another lifetime man! If you don't petition God yourself for
such, I will by proxy!

Exactly correct, and that is NOT the only time "laws" have been
rewritten, nor will it be the last ... one only has to realize the
quaint old phrase, "Laws were meant to be broken" to advance into the
dark and unknown ...

An open mind and willingness to look "under-the-rocks" which others
avoid is all that is necessary for advancement and discovery. The only
problem is, there are a H*LL of a lot of rocks with nothing under em'!

Keep on truckin'!
