I'm a physicist too. A bad analogy is that theory and experiment are like plywood. The individual layers are weak, but criss crossing them against one another and gluing them together makes something that's quite strong.
- atty 5y agoI actually quite like that analogy - I may use that the next time I have a chance to teach.
