Any of you quantum physicists out there agree with me?
Well, the key word relative to much of this science is "theoretical." I enjoy watching programs about Cosmology on the Science channel. They remind me of weather forecasting. It's all so much educated guesswork. One day black holes are bad. The next week they are our salvation. We mortals can't stand the unknowable and make up theories to fill in the blanks, backed up by multivariable calculus. Some read the Bible. “Whenever we proceed from the known into the unknown we may hope to understand, but we may have to learn at the same time a new meaning of the word 'understanding.”
