Our Society emerged as a process of the ever-present, a process of succession, of success. The dynamic of success is failure. We succeed by failing. When a succession corresponds to an intended event, it is considered a success. An unintended event, alternatively, is a failure.
All events progress, including successful ones, and, consequently, successes eventually fail.
Successful events, alternatively are accepted and processed over indefinite periods. It is particularly the obligation of theoretical science to push successful theories to their failures. Theoretical science makes no major advance until it forces failures. Out of the failures, new advanced theories are proposed and the effort to push the new theories to their failures begins. Theoretical science learns as its theories fail.
