Who cares?

Agreed.

"Elementary particles" seem to be all the rage now. It is like taking
layers off an onion. The Higgs Boson was supposed to be at the very
core. But good old Newton is still good enough for ordinary people.

"The world was dark as uncreated night.
God said 'Let Newton be' and all was light." (Alexander Pope.)

To which a guy called Brown replied:

It did not last; the devil howling "Ho!
Let Einstein be," restored the status quo.

And now even Einstein's theories are considered inadequate.

As for their being in their 30s, anybody older is now considered senile.
What does that make us?

Doug.

that is sort of different, but good, thanks.
