Or as I have put the question ever since I first faced fractals, chaos, and
HUP:

Nothing is more certain than being certain of uncertainity.

As a matter of fact, nanotechnology is based precisely on this view, and it
is indeed a solid science that is already creating practical applications.

Buckyballs are a huge gag order on all this nonsense about absolute
uncertainty. They proved you can build stability even within inherently
chaotic,uncertain things, such as Carbon atoms.

The more I hear, the more I regret never going into physics/applied math.
Sociology seemed sexier at the time. Too late.
