Yeah, and the dirty secret, the shameful secret of what I do with my colleagues is that most of us, myself maybe an exception, are completely inured to it. We're so used to seeing, we're so used to thinking of incomprehensible, literally astronomical numbers that we... Sometimes don't even bother to look up at the sky. There's an eclipse happening of the moon? Oh, so what?

I'll see it some other time. Big deal. We know what that is. I know what that is. I know what causes it. It's not mystery. It doesn't portend evil, doom, disaster, catastrophe.

Now the scientists know we've extirpated the sort of, you know, mysterious gods and demons and so forth. But at the same time, we've also, as I say, inert ourselves to the wonder that a normal person feels when they encounter the mysterious.
