“As a rationalist and a mechanist, I view all phenomena as ultimately explainable. ‘There’s no such thing as magic,’ is one of my common refrains. But some observations may seem to contradict all past experience. That’s what makes science so interesting, and it’s why Kopf’s performance was especially delightful to watch. I saw it a month ago, and have been puzzling over it ever since. Kopf is a consummate artist, and I hope to understand one day how he was able to do what he did.” -Dr. Bruce Beutler, Nobel laureate
