In response to my article “Future Physics,” Mark asks , “What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?”
As a former economics professor and one who has had a lot more than he wanted to with Communist countries, I am equipped to tell you about the price of tea in China.
The price of tea in China is extremely low. It is set at a level which would cause consumers in other countries to salivate.
The problem is that you cannot GET tea at that price. If you stand in line for hours, you may get to the store before the tiny amount of tea runs out.
In other words, one problem is the price of tea. The other side of the equation is whether you can GET any tea at that price.
If you are worried only about the price of tea in China, I assure you that it is very, very low.
That would be wonderful.
If an equation didn’t have TWO sides.

So are you saying that we live a reality of consensus, where if we change our perspective, we change reality?

I mean like Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, which you seem to be describing.
