So you haven't understand yet. The fact that there are many "workers"
in a field doesn't MEAN that there is not a single source.


Nor does it mean that there is a single source.. You are basing a

premise on a
very weak foundation.

In fact, all of them had a very genial idea, am I right?


genial?


I think he intends the word to be an adverb form of genius and
using it as an adjective.

And they developed it to create a whole field; each one contribuing
an aspect. And the field in a way is complete. But also, is there a
hierarchy of ideas in their ideas?


..no, merely a common desire to learn and advance our understanding of

how the
universe works.

That is, do you have a root idea from which stems another, and
until you have that one, comes the other, etc?


No. There are plenty of examples of scientists on completely different
continents coming up with the same breakthrough in science at about the

same
time.. then it is a matter of who publishes first.. after which they

sometimes
collaborate on refining their ideas.


Depends on the idea. Obvious ideas will be anticipated. Genial ones
belong to a single individual and may never be discovered again. You
have to refine your conception of knowledge. Mine is a tree.


We have been telling you that you are wrong considering it to
be a tree. If you superimpose a web connecting all nodes of
your tree, you will take a first step of understanding.
