We are humans, we will Live

Mr. Murchison has a great point on the "acceleration" of technology. I
agree with him that the pace of  the tech gain is monumental and
unprecedented in magnitude, but where he seems to miss the point of the
advance in tech and science seems to be in his acceptance that Einstein
is the end all and be all of the universe (speed of light..aka
unchanging constant). Einstein had a "theory" of relativity. With no
deference to Mr.Murchison, a theory is not a fact, or "truth". Science,
like life, tends to evolve. The faster the evolution, by definition, the
faster the change in science (whether it be theory or fact that is
proven by peers). In other words, our understanding of the universe and
it's laws will and has over time, changed. I can't help but see the
parellels in the way world society saw the Ptolemaic System of earth as
the center of the universe, and the way Murchison sees Einstein's theory
of relativity. I'm confused as to why Murchison is suprised by change.
My bet is that we as humans will learn, adapt, and survive.
