MICHAEL GERSON: A golden age of physics. A nice science interlude to politics, with this exceptional misunderstanding:

At every level, from top to bottom, we gain knowledge of the world only by cutting our ties to common sense and intuition. The largest things are hidden from our view. The smallest things defy any coherent mental picture. There is, in fact, a strangeness at the heart of all things.

It is precisely this 'common sense and intuition' that enabled our golden age of physics.
