But I am also reminded of the past reactions first to Einstein's theories, then quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang.
It interesting to not that Einstein, having made discoveries in the nascent field of quantum mechanics, worked in his later years to disprove it and find a unified theory of fields. It's said he wasted the end of his career all because he was uncomfortable with the implications of quantum theory. Contrast this with Max Born who was also uncomfortable with the implications, but continued to make discoveries and mentor discoverers.
It is good though to not over idealize the novel solution because sometimes it's found in the dynamic of a well known system, that's yet to be completely characterized. In this case, General relativity.

No, it's not just you.
