Just needed to share a serendipitous reading moment as I opened a Henry Miller book right after reading this and read: “Are you certain that the earth revolves around the sun? Can you define motion? Can you answer that the composition of a distant planet is such and such? Are you even sure that the sun is a ball of fire? The men from whom you get your answers are not so cocksure. There are no absolutes any more. There is theory and there is speculation. And experimentation. All kinds of proofs, too. Proofs! How we love that word!”
