Do we really want something fundamentally important as the foundations of physics to progress or change quickly? History of science and the philosophy of science has shown that the foundations of sciences progress a little here and a little there until these "little progresses" gain enough momentum to create a paradigm shift. And we only recognize these "little progresses" in hindsight after the paradigm shift. Technological advances also tend to progress science. We tend to believe that advances in science lead to advances in technology but historically, it's the other way around. More likely than not, there are man "little progresses" being made toward an eventual paradigm shift, but until it happens, we won't recognize how important those "little progresses" are.
