　　might never have advanced further. A more recent example involves Einsteins theory of relativity. Einstein theorized, and scientists have since proven empirically, that the pace of time, and possibly the direction of time as well, is relative to the observers motion through space. This truth ran so contrary to our subjective, linear experience, and to previous notions about time and space, that I think Einsteins theory can properly be characterized as truly original.

　　However, in other instances great advances in science are made by putting together current theories or other ideas in new ways. For example, only by building on certain well-established laws of physics were engineers able to develop silicon-based semiconductor technology. And, only by struggling to reconcile the quantum and relativity theories have physicists now posited a new so-called string theory, which puts together the two preexisting theories in a completely new way.

　　To sum up, for the most part originality does not reject existing ideas but rather embraces, applies, or synthesizes what came before. In fact, in our modern languages, our new laws, and even our new art, existing ideas are reflected, not shunned. But, when it comes to science, whether the speakers claim is true must be determined on a case-by-case basis, with each new theory or innovation.
