In the same way that genes passed on physical advances, the theoretical advances are passed on through writing.
Most of the time, we non-scientists make do with explanations of theoretical advances that are finally just collections of mystifying metaphors and hand-waving gestures.
The development of CBT for anxiety disorders provides a model: initial efforts produced moderate benefits, but when subsequent theoretical advances were translated into treatment, huge steps forward resulted.
Another important area of psycholinguistic research that has been strongly influenced by theoretical advances in linguistics and, more especially, by the development of generative grammar is speech perception.
What is truly remarkable is that observations and the theoretical advances associated with them, from particle physics to astronomy, have produced such progress that we are now being driven to address questions that science has previously shied away from.
When the Nobel prize is awarded for fundamental physics, the recipients are often at the end of their careers – or worse – because it can take decades for theoretical advances to be proved right by experiments.
Among solid materials, the greatest theoretical advances have been in the study of crystalline materials whose simple repetitive geometric arrays of atoms are multiple-particle systems that allow treatment by quantum mechanics.
As such, it may impede potentially crucial theoretical advances stemming from missed interactions.
New fossil discoveries, technological innovations, theoretical advances, and social transformations will continue to inform knowledge of our deep past.
More significant examples require theoretical advances, for example with respect to the Metropolis filter.
Lack of full understanding of these mechanisms has perhaps limited broader industrial applications of recent theoretical advances in TEI.
