But Momma, that's where the fun is!

But Clare,

Don't be so sure you see idolatry.  The subject here is two-fold:
1.  What does GR say?
1a.  Is GR's epistemology equal to TRP's?
1b.  Who cares?
2.  What does experience say?

We are examining GR.  Whether it's equations are "TRUE" is another matter.  
Pynchon's texts are riddles, puzzles.  He invites, almost challenges us to 
crack his nut.  Should we say, "Tom, you tease!  I won't chase you.  You are 
only provocative.  You can't deliver the Big Pay-off!"?  If we say this, we 
cut short an experience.  His book may be wild ravings, random automatic 
writings.  The themes may be only the result of the few neural paths 
remaining in his acid-rattled mind.

I DO think Pynchon's partial to window pane.
