The Universe Is Governed By Science. But Science Tells Us That We Can't Solve The Equations, Directly In The Abstract.

A Few Years Ago, The City Council Of Monza, Italy, Barred Pet Owners From Keeping Goldfish In Curved Bowls... Saying That It Is Cruel To Keep A Fish In A Bowl With Curved Sides Because, Gazing Out, The Fish Would Have A Distorted View Of Reality.

Someone Told Me That Each Equation I Included In My Book Would Halve The Sales. I Did Put In One Equation, Einstein's Famous Equation, E = Mc Squared. I Hope That This Will Not Scare Off Half Of My Potential Readers.
