How is that different from the pre-Socratics having 'discovered' pretty much every important ideas in physics or biology?

The ideas of evolution, atoms, geometric universes, the difficulty of geometric universes etc. have been around as possibilities for long but could not be tested and fleshed out, but if relativistic physics, QM or molecular biology existed, I have never heard of them.
