But that's all gone now. And all the while, the best and simplest of all bubbles—the one that always remains in the air—are still the ones that have to be put to work in order to make any kind of living.
When I'm sitting in my office talking about these breakthroughs, I often hear a couple sentences or two from the people who make bubble-based, low-cost products: "You're all scientists," I tell them. "You're all scientists." And they always look like they're referring to a couple of people.
I'll always be fascinated by these people: their ideas, their experiments, their experiments that never got done, their experiments that never made it to the lab, because it's never done.
But it's not just a question of science; it's a question of life.
In my own experience, my biggest concern is that we're living in a world where life is just so far from the science of a human being. As the last man standing between the two worlds I've been living in, I feel like I'm in a really bad place.
I've seen many people suffer from mental illness, or mental retardation. Their lives have been destroyed by pharmaceutical drugs or by suicide. But they've also seen the world through their eyes—and I can imagine them in some way.
