..Not in the least bit Pynchonic -- space

I don't think you can say that science has been "wrong"; again, the bomb.  Incomplete, certainly; that's the way science works.

Exactly what I was going to say. Those little matter spirit devils can be pretty 
mean. But I think Laura is not so much talking about their atoms reality  but 
the degree to which we have  an accurate model /understanding. That is where 
science has been wrong or at lest incomplete, and where new data continues to 
confound or at least disturb the models we have.
