I May Be A Jewish Scientist, But

Experimental Evidence Is The Final Arbiter Of Right And Wrong.

I Believe The Process Of Going From Confusion To Understanding Is A Precious, Even Emotional, Experience That Can Be The Foundation Of Self-confidence.

Before The Discovery Of Quantum Mechanics, The Framework Of Physics Was This: If You Tell Me How Things Are Now, I Can Then Use The Laws Of Physics To Calculate, And Hence Predict, How Things Will Be Later.

In My Own Research When I'm Working With Equations, I Never Feel Like I Really Understand What I'm Doing If I'm Solely Relying On The Mathematics For My Understanding. I Need To Have A Visual Picture In My Mind. I'm Constantly Translating From The Math To Some Intuitive Mind's-eye Picture.

So: If You Buy The Notion That Reality Consists Of The Things In Your Freeze-frame Mental Image Right Now, And If You Agree That Your Now Is No More Valid Than The Now Of Someone Located Far Away In Space Who Can Move Freely, Then Reality Encompasses All Of The Events In Spacetime.
