Kottke.org has a great video clip of renowned physicist Richard Feynman explaining why he can't explain why magnets attract and repel one another.
"When you explain a 'why' [question] you have to be in some framework that you allow something to be true. Otherwise you're perpetually asking why. [...] You have to know what it is that you're permitted to understand, and allow to be understood and known, and what it is you're not."
And scientists get upset* when people draw analogies between physics and postmodernism!

(Many thank to Rob for this link.)

PS. I asked a physicist friend recently if people in her field still give a shit about the Sokal affair* and she said "naw, not really. It wasn't a peer-reviewed journal and that's all anyone cares about these days." Of course, folks in the humanities are still writhing in shame.

"Ingrid, go tell the kitchen: fish, fish, fish, fish, fish, fish."

Steven Strogatz of The Opinionator has decided to embark on a series of blog posts to teach artists about math. He starts off with the basics in a post called From Fish To Infinity in which he extrapolates from a classic Sesame Street clip. "As adults," he suggests, "we might notice a potential downside to numbers. Sure, they are great time savers, but at a serious cost in abstraction." (Thanks, again, to Morris Wolfe for the tip.)
