"Some people try to depict and explain the strange in terms of the familiar. Such analogies lead only to paradoxes because quantum phenomena are radically different. Other people reject quantum objects because they are different, but all their arguement shows is that there is nothing like classical objects in the quantum realm, not that there is no quantum object." -- S.Y. Auyang, "How is Quantum Field Theory Possible?" I essentially try to make this explicit by rewriting known physics as "relativity" theories, connecting them via symmetry contractions, and deforming them (hopefully leading to a way to figure out what quantum geometry is).
