"...contemporary physicists come in two varieties. Type 1 physicists are bothered by EPR and Bell's Theorem. Type 2 (the majority) are not, but one has to distinguish two subvarieties. Type 2a physicists explain why they are not bothered.

Type 2b are not bothered and refuse to explain why."

Then I walked away, and I did not look back. I had written my troubles on the sand. The tide was coming in.”
