- hallowed it
- hollowed it
- mummified it
Physicists then painted Newton’s likeness on the wooden casket and placed it in a sarcophagus. They carved elaborate scenes on four sides of the sarcophagus depicting sacred experiments from the golden past of physics.
But now I write:
That’s nonsense. How can “experiment” as a concept be mummified? Why not? Egyptians did not mummify the body of a human being but the concept of Pharaoh.
In physics too experiment is a symbol used to convert occult and mystical notions of physicists into pseudo-science.
