basic principle of all rational enquiry - though always studiously open-minded with it, of course. I get a distinct hunch that we'll see a lot more questioning of hitherto 'firmly established truths', as the zeitgeist of science continues it's current swing away from the philosophical-materialism which has been the unquestionable dogma for several centuries, towards a new bout of philosophical-idealism; this being by far the most promising way to deal with the set of wholly-intractable anomalies which have turned up in the materialist world-view lately. I'd give you short odds that 'dark matter' and 'dark energy' will be sliding soon into the same discarded-concepts bin that holds phlogiston, the luminiferous ether, and the Ptolemaic astronomical system.
