"...Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the Old One. I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice..."
Albert Einstein
Sometimes the inner voice is right and sometimes the inner voice is wrong. Einstein's "inner voice" also helped him puzzle out General Relativity. But I think it's dangerous for scientists to close ranks around mainstream theories and turn them into dogma, by putting down anyone with an inner voice that conflicts with the mainstream.
