Rick Rosner: I’m working on this novel about a very smart individual. At some point you’re going to have to read it.
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Okay.
Rosner: And this individual is, to some extent a version of me, and has a lot of exciting things going on in his life and has neglected the physics. His point of view, his explanation as to why his physics hasn’t prevailed is that I could get out there and push it but they have all this other shit to do. This character does a lot more fucking than I do but that’s one of the things that this character prefers to the hard work of doing physics and he says “I myself know it’s true and I guess I’ve given up on caring about whether I convince the world” This is just kind of a novelistic dance around because it’s just a like a convenience. At the same time, I’ve had it happened in other instances where I’ve written about how a fictional character feels and then decided “Well, all right I guess I’m just going to give up and think that the way that that character thinks because that seems to be an easier way to go” And I’m wondering if I’m doing the same thing with physics that I’ve kind of reverse projected from my character back on to myself after initially projecting it into that character. It’s how to give up on physics. The end.
