It can be difficult to even find out who exactly was involved in a discovery, of what their precise roles were

Such massive expansion comes with its problems: in retrospect, it can be difficult to even find out who exactly was involved in a discovery, of what their precise roles were. Very few first-hand records of the scanning girls exist. Graduate students who have left the field don't get detailed biographies. The omega minus discovery paper has thirty-three authors and this didn't any of the accelerator designers, engineers, scanners or theorists - not even Gell-Mann. As a result, today we usually only hear the stories of the few theoretical physicists rather than the teams of experimentalists, engineers and others to actually make discoveries like resonance particles and the omega minus happen.

We even have a different name when we teach the physics that emerged after the turn of the twentieth century

We even have a different name when we teach the physics that emerged after the turn of the twentieth century. We call it modern physics as opposed to classical physics, as if everything that came before the theories of this era was just a little ordinary.
