Discovering a new explanation is inherently an act of creativity.

Despite the unrivaled empirical success of quantum theory, the very suggestion that it may be literally true as a description of nature is still greeted with cynicism, incomprehension, and even anger.

The quantum theory of parallel universes is not the problem, it is the solution. It is not some troublesome, optional interpretation emerging from arcane theoretical considerations. It is the explanation - the only one that is tenable - of a remarkable and counter-intuitive reality.

No precautions, and no precautionary principle, can avoid problems that we do not yet foresee. We need a stance of problem-fixing, not just problem-avoidance.

Discovering a new explanation is inherently an act of creativity.

If you can’t program it, you haven’t understood it.

The overwhelming majority of theories are rejected because they contain bad explanations, not because they fail experimental tests.
