There are typically many "holes" in complex scientific theories Sometimes what appears to be a hole isn't one at all. For example Einstein's theory of Special Relativity stated that the speed of light must be constant, so that when computing distance (distance traveled = Speed * time) he concluded that for different distances of light travel, if the the speed couldn't change than the "time" must change. This was considered a great hole in the theory. When they actually made time measurements it was discovered that in fact time was different in different circumstances. It wasn't a hole at all, just an indirect way to find out something very unusual and profound about the universe. TP
