   Alain Aspect or otherwise about neutrinos, examples   
   of anti-reductionists, is that it's pretty much since   
   things like Minkowskian space-time that advances in   
   physics are courtesy it, then that applications   
   can quietly compute.

   Also "realism" is considered sort of necessary.   
   Now, most people would think "isn't physics all   
   about the real already", then when they find out   
   that on the theory side the "nominalists" and   
   "fictionalists" aren't "realists", and on the   
   experimental side that "instrumentalists" and   
   "observationalists" aren't "realists", here it's   
   that realists can use theory and experiment just fine.
