Yes, I agree with the "always changing" part when it involves some progress as in discovering new things like planets, black holes, etc., but I still have to admit to a certain frustration when things seem to be locked into some sort of seesaw back and forth. Maybe it's my impatience in having to sift through all the "chaffe" sometimes repeatedly to get to the truth. Wishful thinking perhaps? I do realize that science has to go through the bumps in the road often to get anywhere. It's just trying sometimes for non-experts like me to sort it all out.

But hey, Mamma never promised life would be easy, eh?
