Most people understand nuclear medicine—about as much as my dog understands picking out a new color of paint for the family room. Nuclear medicine uses radioactive materials to trace gamma rays emitted during radioactive decay—a process that also occurs in astronomical events like supernovae. While this might sound like science fiction, it’s a cornerstone of modern medical diagnostics and treatment.

But here’s the thing about knowledge: it evolves. What seems certain at one point often changes as new discoveries emerge. Take Niels Bohr’s atomic model from 1922—it revolutionized our understanding of how atoms absorb and emit radiation, laying the groundwork for nuclear medicine. Yet his model was later found incomplete because it assumed fixed electron orbits, ignoring principles like Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.

This process of refinement isn’t limited to science; it happens in other fields too—like astrology. Ancient Greek astrologers used celestial observations to develop theories that evolved over centuries, much like atomic models have progressed from Leucippus and Democritus’s indivisible particles to Schrödinger’s quantum mechanical orbitals.

What both science and astrology teach us is this: models are temporary frameworks for understanding reality—they’re not reality itself. Just as Bohr’s model gave way to quantum field theory, astrological paradigms shift as new interpretations arise. The one constant is change itself.
