The day of reckoning has arrived.

Bolded mine.  You have a more fundamentally flawed understanding of science than I previously thought. If you think Einstein's theories didn't involve enormous amounts of testing, refining, and tweaking based on findings...then I really don't know what to tell you.  Nothing about Einstein's work was a sudden, instant revelation or singular spontaneous eruption of ideas.  It required a lot of work..following methods like the one Crunchy depicted.

Correct in saying that...........theories did involve enormous amounts of testing, refining, and tweaking based on findings but incorrect in thinking that at the same time there can not be sudden revelations.

To me sudden revelations come as a reward for putting a lot of effort in a particular study.

And epiphanies come after all of the testing and refining, Rik.  It's the end product of going through the scientific method until the correct answer (or at least an answer closer to correct) is discovered or formulated.  It's not a separate process, it's part of the process.
