And then, interestingly, he went on to say one more thing. He said of course, these three central observations must be supplemented with the idea that this all takes place treated in quantum mechanical fashion, or quantum field theoretic. So it's a bit of an after-market modification rather than, in his opinion at the time, one of the core insights. I actually think that that's, in some sense, about right. Now, one of my differences with the community, in some sense, is that I question whether the quantum is in good enough shape, that we don't know whether we have a serious quantum mechanical problem or not. We know that we have a quantum mechanical problem, a quantum field theoretic problem, relative to the current formulations of these theories, but we know that in some other cases, the quantum becomes incredibly natural, sometimes sort of almost magically natural. And we don't know whether the true theories that we will need to be generalizing, in some sense, have beautiful quantum mechanical treatments, whereas the effective theories that we're dealing with now may not survive the quantization.
