[Mary Replies] I think you've got it exactly right too. The problem seems to be figuring out how to convey these ideas to those who are not convinced. I'm in favor of building bigger and bigger particle accelerators. The smaller the things are that physicists can detect the smaller the things are they hypothesize to exist beyond them. I don't know how many iterations it will take before general agreement that there is no ultimate reality to be found in a particle accelerator, but the MoQ can afford to be patient.
