That's right. "Looking into something with a completely different
perspective" is no indicator of it being "true science". It is an
indicator of originality, not of science.

Do you know some breakthrough in physics that has been done without "looking
into something with a completely different perspective"?

Yes, indeed. Lasers, for example. Electroweak unification, for another.
Cosmic microwave background, for another. There are many cases where
the act of genius is in reality the synthesis of a bunch of little
pieces that are already in the literature, plus a healthy dash of
courage.

That's not to say that there aren't breakthroughs in physics that have
involved stepping back and taking a fresh perspective. But, as I said
earlier, the thing that drives those physicists is finding out what is
*right*, not finding something *new*. You have your priorities mixed
up.
