KARY: […] We’re not pragmatists anymore. For at least a couple of hundred years Americans have always been thought of as pragmatic philosophers — if it doesn’t matter, we’re not going to worry about it too much. We’ve spent billions and billions trying to understand something called “the Grand Unified Theory of Everything” — and all you have to do is take LSD one time to realize that that is not going to happen. (laughter) You’re just not going to find “the Grand Unified Field of Everything.”
You can pretend to find it by spending vast sums of money and building huge machines. We’re building this great big thing called BABAR, which looks like an elephant. It’s an attachment that detects B-mesons, and will sit on top of the Stanford Linear Accelerator. They’re making something that’s going to produce a lot of what’s called B-mesons, and, from its particular properties, physicists hope to understand enough to provide the final structure of the universe — “the Grand Unified Theory of Everything.”
But human beings, who are paying for this whole endeavor, will never understand this. I’ve been studying it since I was a little boy, and it’s not really clear to me that this particular theory of everything is anything more than just a myth. You can find evidence for anything if you look hard enough. “Chemistry and the Mind Field”, David Jay Brown’s interview with Kary Mullis, quoted from “Conversations on the Edge of the Apocalypse” by David Jay Brown
