Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s like explaining to a three-year-old what a tiger is. You might say it is “just like a big kitty cat,” but that only works until the three-year-old is at the zoo one day and tries to stick her hand in the cage to pet the tiger and your spouse yells at you for being a bad parent who uses theoretically incomplete analogies.
Every moment slips immediately from the intense experience of the present to a fading memory of the past.
Even now, our science is mostly just drinking coffee with the occasional flash of insight and rare afternoon of actual progress.
