The physicists I know worry about confirming their calculations by
observation. I don't know who MX is referring to.


The little "Famous physicists " pics he had on his jammies.




Pure math research doesn't need anything but internal consistancy, but
every worthwhile scientist is verifying by measurement, and the
measurements are becoming exquisitely accurate.

I wish I could be as predictive in my field as those in the hard
sciences are in theirs.



What's the deal with infinitely dividing the time it takes for a quarter to
