When Copernicus proposed heliocentrism in 1543, it was actually less accurate than Ptolemy's geocentric model - a system refined over 1,400 years with epicycles precisely tuned to match observed planetary positions.

It took another 70 years before Kepler, working from Tycho Brahe's unprecedentedly precise observations, replaced Copernicus’s circles with ellipses - finally making heliocentrism empirically superior.

Terence Tao's point is that science needs a high temperature setting. If we only fund and follow what's most state of the art today, we kill the ideas that might need decades of work to surpass some overall plateau.

Is the market setting up for a rally?

The S&P 500 is down -5% since the Iran War started, now 15 trading days into the sell-off.

In previous geopolitical conflicts, US stocks bottomed around day 15 on average, based on over 30 major geopolitical shocks since 1939.

The current sell-off is tracking almost exactly in line with the historical average and median path.

After the typical bottom, the average recovery lasted for ~40 trading days.

From there, stocks tended to move higher after reaching their pre-event levels.

Is the usual geopolitical playbook set to repeat?
