One neednt be a crank to miss the scientific boat. The very paragon of genius Albert Einstein couldnt be persuaded to give quantum physics his unreserved endorsement. Here is Einsteins most frequently paraphrased statement of dissatisfaction with the theory: Quantum mechanics is very impressive. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory yields a lot but it hardly brings us any closer to the secret of the Old One. In any case I am convinced that He doesnt play dice.
It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century the silliest is quantum theory. In fact some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct.
Ordinary language is totally unsuited for expressing what physics really asserts since the words of everyday life are not sufficiently abstract. Only mathematics and mathematical logic can say as little as the physicist means to say.
Quantum Mechanics: the dreams stuff is made of.

Physics isnt a religion. If it were wed have a much easier time raising money.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
