I question this. While I agree that, as Bucky said, Universe operates on synergistic, inter-accommodative principles; I don't think Science is that monolithic. Witness the lack of accommodation between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Astronomers are having to admit there is weather on the Sun and in Interplanetary space. The other disciplines will all jostle around to reach some new equilibrium, not fail completely.
