5 - Prime Directive #1

Dr. Einstein believed in thought experiments -- that physics problems can be solved though the logical application of ideas. This concept underlies the premise that the Universe is a logical place and that if any cause were fully understood that the the effect could be predicted exactly. On large scales, larger than the electron, this premise is true. On small scales, however, it appears to be false. Small Science became known as Quantum Mechanics and Einstein concluded that it must be incomplete.
