"Theory determines what we observe." --Albert Einstein


"Physics and Reality" (1936) – an essay published in the Journal of the
Franklin Institute.
In it, Einstein says:
"Whether you can observe a thing or not depends on the theory which you
use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed."




Now, let me explain what are one of the things that could mean...


LSD determines what we observe.


It is the Purple Haze which decides what can be observed.


A bad trip means bad acid.



Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
