Re: A new conceptual model of the universe.
In the lightbulb example, I believe we talking about discovery rather than creation.

Creation is a funny word, in a sense humans never create anything. We can't form matter out of nothing - all we can do is reorganize it in new ways that produce previously unobserved results. We are creating ideas but not matter.
