What was the most 'revolutionary' scientific theory of all time?

You can't avoid the 'G' word around here. Maybe we should call it 'Sklansky's G Spot' instead of SMP [/latenitesexdrugsmoneyjoke]

Both theories were pretty funny. As an aside, do you think this is it for revolutionary theories? Are there any assumptions left to shake on the scale of "Earth is the centre of the universe"?

I think this shows that most scientific progress is in baby steps, progressing from a previous idea and expanding upon it. Rarely does a concept come about so drastically different than all others before it. I am sure there will be others in the future and hopefully within our lifetimes.

Why is there a "you" locked into your brain? Why is there any subjective experience of anything? A convincing scientific answer to these questions will beat Einstein and Copernicus combined.
