First is that we as humans have a very limited imagination and whichever medium we use to understand the world - be it science, religion, philosophy, or art -we will end up exploting the same limited set of ideas available to us.

There needs to be clearer communication for the public avout how valuable it [animal testing] is

Bell's theorem...proves that quantum theory requires connections that appear to resemble telepathic communication.

If quantum communication and quantum computation are to flourish, a new information theory will have to be developed.
