You say that those great Scientists had to "kick Science to the
next level". In fact, they met with resistance not from the
Scientific community but fron politics and religion. It is
not Science that had to be kicked, it was non-Science that
had to be kicked and it often kicked back.



You'll want to re-think that one. Scientists have both politics and
religion - pretty much the same thing , belief over observation - and
thus do not operate in an intellectual ivory tower.

"God does not dice with the universe." Is a famous saying by a famous
physicist, but Heisenberg finally gained acceptance in spite of him.
Actually, the saying is. "God does not play dice with the universe" (you
missed the word 'play'). This was in deferrence to Laplace's theory that
if at one time, we knew the positions and speeds of all the particles in
the universe, then we could calculate their behaviour at any other time,
in the past or future.
