In My Mind, There Is No Question

When I Was 16 Years Old, I Assembled A 2.3 Million Electron Volt Beta Particle Accelerator. I Went To Westinghouse, I Got 400 Pounds Of Translator Steel, 22 Miles Of Copper Wire, And I Assembled A 6-kilowatt, 2.3 Million Electron Accelerator In The Garage.

I Believe We Exist In A Multiverse Of Universes.

I Often Think That We Are Like The Carp Swimming Contentedly In That Pond. We Live Out Our Lives In Our Own "pond," Confident That Our Universe Consists Of Only The Familiar And The Visible. We Smugly Refuse To Admit That Parallel Universes Or Dimensions Can Exist Next To Ours, Just Beyond Our Grasp. If Our Scientists Invent Concepts Like Forces, It Is Only Because They Cannot Visualize The Invisible Vibrations That Fill The Empty Space Around Us. Some Scientists Sneer At The Mention Of Higher Dimensions Because They Cannot Be Conveniently Measured In The Laboratory.

We Need More Concept-development And Active Involvement, Less Tuning Forks, Pulleys, And Friction Formulas - Students Know They'll Never Use Those. They Need More Study Of Outer Space And Dna. They Need More Exciting Teaching, More Fair-minded Encouragement, More Career Guidance, More Mentorship. Both Students And Teachers Need More Feedback. It Would Help If We Stopped Protecting Bad Teachers - It's Very Difficult To Get Rid Of Even Sexual Perverts Let Alone Just Bad Teachers.

No One Knows Who Wrote The Laws Of Physics Or Where They Come From. Science Is Based On Testable, Reproducible Evidence, And So Far We Cannot Test The Universe Before The Big Bang.
