Thank you! I have long felt that there is too much theology mixed into physics that goes unnoticed and unchallenged. Feyerabend.. Blessed Be His Name. Reading that page I came across: "In peril is the notion of "naturalness," Albert Einstein's dream that the

I believe the nature of quantum gravity makes certain that there will always be uncertainty. If we want more certainty in our lives we need to go to an area of spacetime with a lower energy gravity field with less energetic quantum particles. It might be boring though, as our lives currently unfo
