FOTD -- June 18, 2002 (Rating 6)

Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:

I want a theory that I can think about, understand, and connect to the 'real' world. I want to be able to say, 'yes, that explains everything', and observe the proof. (I realize that this will not happen.) A theory, the proof of which can be comprehended only by the high priests of science, would be of no satisfaction at all. In fact, IMO, it would border on mysticism. But then, considering how little of the world of science the common man can actually observe, science has been bordering on mysticism for the past 100 years.
