Dear Sreenath
In a way my past essays were more inciting - urging people to think in drastic new ways. This present essay may have more insights about the need to recognize the limitations of theoretical knowledge. Clear incisive thinking about the basics of the field is now needed more than ever.
The way to squeeze the Cloud of Unknowing is to squeeze one's brain, examining not only presently accepted theories but alternative theories, as well comparing those theories with experimental results..that is how the scientific method worked to expand knowledge of reality. Unfortunately most established physicists are content to parrot what has been done before, and do not make the big effort needed to 'start all over' as Einstein himself suggested may be necesary.
By saying It=Qubit I was only describing a model of Nature, not Nature itself, which as the essay explains, remains unknowable except by partial and cumulative experimentation, theorizing, building ideas and destroying them as the case may be. Knowledge, i.e information is a human entity that is a way to model Nature, but is not identical with Nature itself. It also depends on how one defines these words.
I am no philosopher, but thanks for appreciating my art. Are you an academic in physics?
With thanks and best wishes
Vladimir
