I was only talking about history here. a) QM was going in one
   direction. b) University students create/join hippie movements.
   "spirit of the times". c) in that "spirit of the times" was drug
   experimentation, alternative religions like buddhism and
   hinduism (that swami that influenced the Beatles also influenced
   many in and out of the hippie movement but there were others
   like Alan Watts d) Some individuals who grew out of that
   culture, which was also toying around with some of the "woah"
   aspects of QM that were "left behind" by scientists at that
   point as not being important to consider - were considering
   them. e) They went on study higher mathematics. f) They decided
   to dive into the "left behind" aspects of QM g) emerged complex
   systems, chaos, higher dimensional maths, conjectures, theory,
   and all sorts of pure theory things that went AGAINST the
   typically "Engineering Focused" Sciences of the times. h) at the
   same time, the part of the hippie movement they sprung out of
   (the new age movements) continued doing what they did and
   continue to do so today. == Even that you guys are talking Pure
   Logic here *is* thanks to the hippie movement of the 60s. Pure
   theory wasn't "the thing" then. Ever see education films?
   Textbooks of the era? Far more practical and pragmatic. ==
