As physics develops a versatile inside point of
view, to complement it's well developed outside point of view, it will become
very much more useful to everyone. How that will happen
may not be 'linear', perhaps needing some new concepts instead of just
figuring things out in terms of the old ones. It might
even involve people diving in and getting very wet. Still,
we'll find It very useful to turn our mental design of the world inside out
for the things in the world [those operated from the inside] that work
backwards!
That
includes learning to study things that explode into existence and get
somewhere with it, which one might do to avoid joining the things that
explode into existence, get nowhere and vanish. It's just
fascinating that the well regulated design of civilization is modeled on the
classic form of the latter.
Another benefit is that when you take a more realistic
point of view [of different things having inside and outside control],
and accept the interesting and useful task of steering through them,
the truth suddenly becomes much easier to see. It's a small miracle,
that you tend to think (speaking metaphorically) of turning on the windshield
washers and opening the vent, instead of drawing pictures in the fog on the
windshield and blaming the endless squealing and crashing on anything but
yourself...
