It won't happen anytime in the foreseeable future, and just as well
considering humanity's present level of maturity. Science will remain
safely "corraled" in the playpen of the VSP.

It's a serious, sometimes unsettling problem, though.

After many years of you and i and others talking about
it, it seems so obvious that space is high-grade energy.

Yet, scientists continue to observe and work tirelessly
to tie their observations to existing theory. This is a
serious problem with the science policy to establish a
theory, to embed an idea that may very well turn out
to be, if not incorrect, then only a glimpse, a shadowy,
nebulous glimpse of physical reality.

Each new observation should fall into the category of
"zero bias". Instead of ardently trying to tie the new
observation to existing theory, scientists ought to put
the observation into a "let's try to falsify the existing
theory with this observation" category. And with this
sort of attitude in mind, the new observation just may
lead to refinement of existing theory toward a clearer
picture of physical reality.

But science is stuck in a Brownian rut. At this point, it
would take a better, smarter person than even Albert
E. to break science out of its self-made, impassive cul
that resembles a large, heavy box with steel walls.
