Just wait till we find our first wormhole!

Neither Einstein nor Newton would be much use meeting a wormhole. Darwin's your man for that. Wrote a whole book about worms. He would have dived straight in while E and N would have gawked at it discussing its epistemological significance.
But let me drag the topic back to evolutionary economics. We share about 3,000 of our genes with worms. There's economics for you! Don't invent new ones, recycle the old. One or two original ones remain though. It's why we wriggle when we're tickled.
