To be honest, if anything physicists might have been inventing phenomena, dimensions and particles a little to zealously to explain the math. Scaling it back a little bit is not the same as denying the existence of things that are easily detectable and testable, like cancer, world hunger, pollution, etc. There's nothing wrong with a little mythology - it's normal when you're on the edge of the map pushing back the "Here Be Dragons!" fog.

At last count, all of the artists. I mean, they can sign up. They just have to go down to the basement in one of the store-rooms in the back of a locked filing cabinet in a locked lavatory with the "Beware of the Leopard" sign... and fill out the appropriate form (Sorry Douglas...)

No one is buying blank cassette tapes or CD-ROM/DVD's anymore. Waaaaa we need more money!
