What Are Bosons?

[Rhondazvous]

I wouldn't call it cherry picking, but yes, we interpret nature through the lens of our theories, and while the phenomena are often described very accurately (in the case of electrodynamics, to 10 digits precision), the *explanations* extracted from theory are not on the same secure footing. Furthermore, taking the maths and the mathematical objects of the theory and trying to express them in ordinary English is something else again.

If theory interpretation and language are all we have to work with then that's what we have to work with The communicator and the communicatee have to meet each other halfway. I remember when I first started the English master's program, I'd listen to the professors and think "Damn, why didn't they tell me about the Greek language prerequisite?" They were using words that weren't even in Webster's. They had to have their own special dictionary. But I learned that stuff. And I'm not afraid to learn from you.
