At the Royal Society meeting [June 1983], Weinberg focused on this impasse. "Quantum gravitation seems inaccessible to any experiment we can devise," he said. "In fact, physics in general is moving into an era where the fundamental questions can no longer be illuminated by conceivable experiments. It's a very disquieting position to be in."

I already find myself lost in thought about cells and the human body. Now, I have to contemplate the wonders of gravity and electricity. Books likes this surely put things into perspective.
