"I like to say, the universe doesn't care about our common sense.  We have to force our ideas to conform to the evidence of reality rather than the other way around.  And if reality seems strange, that’s okay."

-Theoretical Physicist Lawrence Krauss, from his Big Think interview

"Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense."
- Gertrude Stein (born on this date in 1874)
