Inductivism remains the dominant view of how science works until the 20th century when Albert Einstein proposes a new approach to gravity. This and early work in quantum mechanics prompts philosopher Karl Popper to propose a radically new view of how science works. "I assert that scientific knowledge is essentially conjectural or hypothetical." Inductivism agrees with the empiricist view that all knowledge must come from experience. Popper's position parallels the rationalist view that our intuition and deepest insights come from pure reason.
