Can't believe I forgot Darwin...
I think even QM is still an act played on Newton's stage.
Sure, if by that you mean they bought in a bulldozer, took out most of the building that the stage was built upon, changed the seating and replaced the curtains while they were at it
Newton's ideas of mechanism would be an example for that analogy.
I think you mistook Newton's stage for Newton's play. Newtonian mechanisms was Newton's play. The concept of unifying mathematical framework, coevolution of math and physics, and the 4 rules of Reasoning in natural philosophy, formed the Newtonian stage on which all subsequent physics played. Better plays than Newton's have been performed on Newtonian stage, to be sure. But they can still only be performed on Newton's stage.
