I always hafta' look at it in relation to the physics I was taught
first,
what I think is happening second and only then go out for the more
bizarre
stuff.  I intuitively believe a whole bunch of theory is off-base and am
looking for those better conceptualizations.  Right now I feel,
conceptually, like I am eating out of a garbage can.  The theory seems
moth
eaten and I have nothing better to wear.  I am alwyas open for
suggestions,
but they gotta answer a whole lot of questions!  I already have a lot of
theory behind me that seems wanting, I don't need another concept thrust
at
me that has any holes in it.  So I am very wary of new ideas, but will
listen to the reasoning behind them.
