If two theories give identical predictions under all circumstances about how the real world behaves, then they are not two separate theories, they are merely rewordings of the same theory. And choosing between them is arbitrary; you may prefer one to the other because human minds can visualise it more easily, or it's easier to calculate, or you have an aethetic preference for it. -- Philip Hunt, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
