Nobody knows exactly how it works, but it's been tested (repeatedly, by one of my cats) and scientists are in general agreement that it's real. Is it intellectual arrogance to refuse to tie myself down to things, because after all we don't know quite how it works so what if it isn't real and someday we'll all go floating away?? Ever think of that, arrogant science people???
