We are just very good at epicycles, that is all.

An interesting descriptive choice. Epicycles described the universe as it appeared to Aristotle, and quantum physics describes the universe as it appears to us, but ultimately all is epicycles. Kind of like the little girl who insisted the world rested on the back of a turtle, and when asked what held up the turtle, she said it was turtles all the way down. Epicycles, quantum physics or turtles, it’s all the same, for no one really knows the reality of the universe. On the other hand, late at night, in the stillness of the dark, I often hear the music of the spheres.
