Quark theory? String theory?! What ever happened to
astrology? When was tea-leaf reading disproved?!?!

I'm still sticking needles into litt'l dolls made to
look like my enemies... doesn't this work any more?
I hear'em screaming all the time! What, are you gonna 
tell me they've got OTHER problems in their lives?

For centuries and centuries without end people have
believed the universe runs on magic--And I don't see
THAT belief changing: People still believe you can get
"something from nothing" & that "energy = magic"

BUT

Frankly... I'm a fatal optimist: I really do believe
that all superstition will eventually go by the side
and that one day in the distant future science will deal 
ONLY with reality, and be based on the laws of physics.

Does supersymmetry look like the way to go? Does string 
theory appear to lead the way to Ultimate Understanding?
Hell, grab any newspaper and be astonished by how accurately
the newsboy-turned-astrologer can predict your day TODAY...
