““We create models to explain nature, but the models wind u gate-crashing nature and driving away the original inhabitants. In my lecturing days most of my students believed that atoms really are solid little stellar nuclei orbited by electrons. When I tell them that nobody knows what an electron is, they look at me like I've told them that the sun is a watermelon. One of the better-read-up ones might put up their hand and say, "But Dr. Muntervary, isn't an electron a charged probability wave?" "Suppose now," I am fond of saying, "I prefer to think of it as a dance.””
