Weirdly, Albert Einstein discovered his theories by guessing, until he found a working solution that matched the known constraints, and then stopped. It is quite possible that the parts of the solution space he did not probe contain relevant alternative models.

Isn't that how science has always worked? You find *a* mathematical model that fits your available data, and as soon as someone finds data that doesn't fit, a new model is required. Would have guessed it's a new development to have multiple theories and a lack of data ...

Ideally one would not just find *a* model that fits the data but *the* best possible model. Also science doesn't do enough to support going out looking for black swans imho so bad models don't get torn down. I am planning to found a "Black Swan Institute" for this purpose.
