Modern education is like being taken to the world's greatest restaurant & being forced to eat the menu.

The chaos can act as a magnifier of quantum fluctuations so that they can produce sizable effects in the world around us. But we know that that can happen often

But when researchers at Bell Labs discovered that static tends to come from particular places in the sky, the whole field of radio astronomy opened up.

In fact any experiment that measures a quantum effect is one in which the quantum effect is aligned with the behavior of some heavy, macroscopic object; that's how we measure it

Just because things get a little dingy at the subatomic level doesn't mean all bets are off.

You know, there was a time, just before I started to study physical science, when astronomers thought that systems such as we have here in the solar system required a rare triple collision of stars

We are driven by the usual insatiable curiosity of the scientist, and our work is a delightful game.
