It wouldn’t be the first time we exploited something we didn’t understand. We used aspirin for many years before it was understood.

Glass has been used for 5,000 years and its still not really understood.

But we never give up trying to understand. “Something we may never understand” is a stupid philosophy – particularly for a science teacher. It was just lazy storytelling on Shyamalan’s part.

Oh, and its also quite possible that this BlackLight thing is just a big fat hoax. But I hope not.

Astrophysics and quantum physics are so theoretical, and yet, they treat these theories like fact. Like world-is-flat fact.
But it really is theory, in fact it’s theory built on theory built on theory built on theory. They start treating all these theories as fact to create new layers of theories. I hope Mills knocks down their house of cards.
