Of the End of Science

If you haven't read about the New Physics, you've missed the biggest thing the twentieth century (and perhaps the second millenium) has to offer. I'll refrain from trying to explain a set of theories that made even Einstein's head spin, but trust me when I say that, whatever your expectations, it's a wilder ride than you can imagine. The New Physics is basically the implosion of the classical scientific worldview, and the emergence of a cosmology so unutterably strange and wonderful (and Trinitarian) that you'll wonder why anybody gives modernism the time of day.

"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood a single word." -- Niels Bohr
