Dec 15, 2016 at 20:19 comment added Tom Copeland Another: Boltzmann's statistical mechanics presenting continuum properties as emergent phenomena of atomistic properties, confimed by Einstein's analysis of Brownian motion.
Dec 15, 2016 at 20:07 comment added Tom Copeland Quantum theory is another example of a belated overarching theory that integrated the two apparently incompatible views of light as waves (Huygens/Huyghens) and as particles (Newton).

Dec 13, 2016 at 17:28 comment added Tom Copeland Dyson dialectics or Dyson dialectical synthesis in homage to Hegel would be an apt description of Dyson's methodology.
Dec 13, 2016 at 16:30 comment added Tom Copeland @SteveHuntsman, nice. How to express $F_{un}$ roughly as a Dyson dichotomy? Field of element one and classical fields, analogous to item B? I would upvote this as an answer.
