In context, do you think that science is pointlessly limited to the material.....? Science doesn't "let go" of useful or predictive models until it has a reason to. QM, for example...is the study of fundamental -particles-. We haven;t let go of older views on particles anymore than we've let go of newtonian mechanics, the question being asked so generally. Both work to describe relationships at some level of granularity. We -have- abandoned phlogiston theory but people sometimes don't realize how fruitful the theory was (had it not been so fruitful they would not have known enough about what it is they were studying to, eventually, realize that the phlogiston bit itself...was wrong). There may come a point where we abandon particles like we abandoned phlogiston, or even as we put the asterisk by newtonian mechanics. We're not there yet. I have no idea what you think that status of science in the here and now is. What was abandoned in favor of what and when?
