John Wheeler, of MTW ( Misner, Thorne and Wheeler, the authors of the big black "phone book" on GRAVITATION ) wrote ( and it's in the book ) to the effect that if you take all the equations and write them on the floor of a room, and stand back and wave your arm and command them to fly, not one of them will take flight, but the universe "flies". In other words, the universe seems bound to remain an ineffable mystery to us.
“In other words, the universe seems bound to remain an ineffable mystery to us.”
Now that doesn’t sound very scientific, does it?
