; Realism landmarks
: '''Logical Positivism''' → The early 20th-century view that only what we can verify with our senses is "Real."
: '''The Miracle of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)''' → The most accurate theory in human history, often used as the "Ultimate Proof" for realism.
: '''Scientific Pluralism''' → The idea that we might need multiple, "conflicting" theories (like Waves and Particles) to describe the one reality.
: '''Thomas Kuhn's Paradigms''' → Showing that what scientists call "Reality" often changes based on the social and historical context.
