Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.
- I love that quote. I should buy that book just as an artifact to make me happy every time I see it. The absolute pinnacle of self-aware humor.
  
  Which book?
Then Einstein and Bohr broke everything again. Then Dirac and Feynman put it back together again. Now, we've basically got it all worked out...
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
- Wasn't there an experiment with lasers and reversing cause and effect?
- I read this in TechnologyConnections voice.
I love the honesty of actual science.
It should be said that this is from Science Abridged Beyond the Point of Usefulness by Zach Wienersmith.
- Weinersmith, really? Poor bastard
  
  Thanks, though, that's really helpful! I didn't believe you until I looked it up :)
  
  His last name at birth was Weiner.
"This is how the world works, except maybe it's not." - Physics
- "This is a model and description of how the world seems to work"
Just wait until you learn about friction!
What we need is a visionary stem dropout to put it all together in a powepoint and release a YouTube video about how academia is suppressing their ideas.
I read this in the jingle voice from 'the history of the entire world, I guess'. You know, the part about China?

Physics is back together 🎶 and it broke again
