Nature's Patterns Sometimes Reflect Two

Evidence In Support Of General Relativity Came Quickly. Astronomers Had Long Known That Mercury’s Orbital Motion Around The Sun Deviated Slightly From What Newton’s Mathematics Predicted. In 1915, Einstein Used His New Equations To Recalculate Mercury’s Trajectory And Was Able To Explain The Discrepancy, A Realization He Later Described To His Colleague Adrian Fokker As So Thrilling That For Some Hours It Gave Him Heart Palpitations.

Writing For The Stage Is Different From Writing For A Book. You Want To Write In A Way That An Actor Has Material To Work With, Writing In The First Person Not The Third Person, And Pulling Out The Dramatic Elements In A Bigger Way For A Stage Presentation.

That Is, You Can Have Nothingness, Absolute Nothingness For Maybe A Tiny Fraction Of A Second, If A Second Can Be Defined In That Arena, But Then It Falls Apart Into A Something And An Anti-something. And That Something Is Then What We Call The Universe. But Can We Really Understand That Or Put Rigorous Mathematics Or Testable Experiments Against That? Not Yet. So One Of The Big Holy Grail Of Physics Is To Understand Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing.

Most People Don’t Question The Practice Of Eating Meat. Many Of These People Care About Animals And The Environment, Some Deeply. But For Some Reason-force Of Habit, Cultural Norms, Resistance To Change-there Is A Fundamental Disconnect Whereby These Feelings Don’t Translate Into Changes Of Behavior.

In Quantum Mechanics There Is A Causing B. The Equations Do Not Stand Outside That Usual Paradigm Of Physics. The Real Issue Is That The Kinds Of Things You Predict In Quantum Mechanics Are Different From The Kinds Of Things You Predict Using General Relativity. Quantum Mechanics, That Big, New, Spectacular Remarkable Idea Is That You Only Predict Probabilities, The Likelihood Of One Outcome Or Another. That's The New Idea.
