Maybe a solution is that these Laws are in some way sacred, like the Pyramids. The Laws and the Pyramids have something in common. The Laws work, but cannot be proved using our science. Also, the Pyramids are there, and have some very interesting properties, which we cannot account for. Also, as you might now, the people who first made their way into the Pyramids became very vulnerable to the Laws, which can be deducted from the fact that a lot of them died in some pretty weird ways, soon after their discoveries..... -- Jack Jansen, {seismo|philabs|decvax}!mcvax!vu44!jack or ...!vu44!htsa!jack "Only the great masters of style ever succeed in being obscure" Oscar Wilde, 1894.
