"Theories are neither right nor wrong. They are attempts at explaining the inexplicable. It is not the theory that matters, but the way it is being tested. Experiment with any theory you like – if you are truly earnest and honest, the attainment of reality will be yours. It is the earnestness that liberates and not the theory."
