After world war i, how did new theories about science differ from past ideas?

1.) its about "generational change" years we are able to enhance out studies and engange to more advance learning in discoveries
2.) socio-economic and environmental influences probabbly could affect (there are more and further explanation bout this)
3.) basically "past ideas" are the our main root of the principles and manners today so these ideas are not exactly different it is just innovated and enhanced

Ifeel like this is a very good quesyion
