cause many nonscientists to shake their heads in disbelief. Yet
all of these particles make possible our very existence. For
those who argue that materialism should be favored over the-

misspelled attribution to the fourteenth-century English logi-

that the simplest explanation for any given problem is usu-

relegated to the Dumpster by the bizarre models of quantum
physics.
