I have no idea what you are talking about and I don't think you do either. The person above thought that physics would be simpler if people used 'philosophy' (whatever that means).

Just in case you care to know what I'm talking about: I'm pointing out that philosophy had a lot of influence in changing the way science is done (leading to faster progress). This process is ongoing.

Of course, you don't help anyone make progress in physics just by suggesting they should "use some philosophy for a change".

You aren't really pointing it out, you're just claiming that without any evidence at all.
