Ernest Rutherford, a great and historic Nobel Prize winning scientist, once said, “All science is either physics or stamp collecting.”
As physics gets stranger, with the counter-intuitive Quantum mechanics and the many inelegant versions of string theory and multi-dimensional universes, the deep core of science almost seems unexplainable, perhaps unknowable.
How close to the shore of heaven can we get before light blinds us?
So, with a tip of the hat to Rutherford, I say:
All science is metaphor.
What do you scientists say to that?
