Re-write edit
I think I can do a workable re-write of this article to match some sources. It appears "Golden age of physics" can fit different time periods, and stating that in the form of an article may be the best approach. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 05:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Prosperity ? edit
The Greek Golden age was one of prosperity and had passed away when it was described. There is a retrospective aspect to this title. As stated at Golden age#Present-day usage:
- Invariably, the term "Golden Age" is bestowed retroactively, when the period in question has ended and is compared with what followed in the specific field discussed.
The science of natural philosophy, also known as physics, has not been shut down or wilted. The usage noted in the article, from Max Planck to the Manhattan Project, is faulty rhetoric. That now-dated usage has not survived; reviving it and perpetuating the questionable phrase is not consistent with principles. — Rgdboer (talk) 01:47, 9 September 2017 (UTC) — Rgdboer (talk) 01:50, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
