So, for example...when Albert Einstein first came out with his theory...it didn't work! In order for his theory of relativity to work...he needed to make it fit. He needed to change the facts to fit his theory of relavity. So, he took the speed of light and...fixed it. If the glove don't fit, you have to aquitt. Charles Darwin did the same thing with his theory of evolution... after he almost completed it...he noticed that the numbers didn't fit his theory of evolution. So, he changed the number "75,000 years age of the earth" believed at that period in time and changed it to 306,662,400 years (a number he just grabbed from the air). “Theory determines what we observe.” --Albert Einstein "If the facts don't fit the theory, then change the facts" --Albert Einstein That's how they invented science fiction...
