It's Pointless To Have A Nice Clean

Common Sense Has No Place In Quantum Mechanics.

We Physicists Don't Like To Admit It, But Some Of Us Are Closet Science Fiction Fans. We Hate To Admit It Because It Sounds Undignified. But When We Were Children, That's When We Got Interested In Science, For A Lot Of Us.

Combining Quantum Entanglement With Wormholes Yields Mind Boggling Results About Black Holes. But I Don't Trust Them Until We Have A Theory Of Everything Which Can Combine Quantum Effects With General Relativity. I.e. We Need To Have A Full Blown String Theory Resolve This Sticky Question.

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.

In Some Sense, Gravity Does Not Exist; What Moves The Planets And The Stars Is The Distortion Of Space And Time.
