Vera Rubin summarized the situation with a joke. There was a wise rabbi, she said, who was trying to mediate a marital dispute. The husband complained about the wife. “You’re right,” the rabbi said. The wife complained about the husband. “You’re right,” the rabbi said. Then the rabbi’s own wife emerged from behind a curtain, where she had been eavesdropping. “How can you tell them both they’re right?” she said to her husband. To which the wise rabbi replied, “You’re right too.”
