You know, I find it very interesting that we only have interpretations of what we observe. The Copenhagen interpretation, The Many Worlds interpretation, The Everett interpretation mentioned above. No one knows what is really going on. We may find out more, and not knowing surely has not stunted my interest. Not knowing, fundamentally what is really going on keeps us humble I think.

Not knowing gets a lot of us out of bed in the morning.

Hi Joe!

It it like the quest for the holy grail. It is the searching, not the finding, that is the main event.
