As it states in one of my favorite passages of the book: "A community of Cistercian monks padding peacefully from their garden plots to their chapel would count as evidence matters that no physicist should care to judge." The difference is our world of physicists have decided they and their methods are the only TRUE form of judgement, and everyone else be damned. Thankfully (generally) the community of monks pays no heed.(less)
