And all this came about independently and totally by accident.
I wonder Who caused this accident.

“Tiny bits of vibrating string” - all tuned to play a B flat.

A while back I read a theory that explains how these other dimensions “hide in plain sight”. By not being physical, as such, but “organizational”, providing a “framework” for the other dimensions, that gives them structural strength, even rigidity.
They can’t be seen, because they are right in front of us, as it were. A simple way of describing this is by looking at a structural triangle. It is a strong organizational pattern, but why? Each of its sides have a given amount of angular strength on their own, but combined, the three are stronger than their individual angular strengths.

I am uncertain as to whether or not that is Heisenberg in the third row.

Wait, I thought Higgs boson solved everything. Very confusing.

Where do I send money for funding their project? So many projects, so little money.

No need to worry.
Some enterprising young physicist, with an entrepreneurial mind, will come up with a "unifying theory", which will mean, just one project, with a lowered demand for funding.

Well, since they’re invisible, they’d be more like C flat and F flat, or B sharp and E sharp.

That’s the same thing my Dad told me just before I got run over by the steam roller.

I don’t know why all these physicists think that the poor Sailor who pipes people on board a ship is supposed to solve everything. For goodness sakes, he plays two notes on a whistle. How can he solve everything?
