Desmond Monologue
Coffee shop, Saturday 09:00
Desmond, sitting at table waiting for Howard to arrive, begins to get inpacicent
Howard, walks in and sits across from him: Desmond! You know that I will be late, after all I am late every week. Yet, you arrive here not just on time, but early! How irrational...
Desmond, Takes out chess board and begins to set up: It is irrational to expect the best possible outcome, Howard?
Howard: It is irrational to expect a different outcome when nothing has been changed. Two plus two will always equal four, it always has and it always will.
Desmond: Oh how I love your philosophical excuses! Let us get on with it before I grow tired of your banter. Pulls coin from pocket. Heads or tails?
Howard: Heads.

Howard: Heads, puts coin in pocket
Desmond: One-love me, though the first move is yours. Turns the board to the white pieces face Howard.

We can assume that this is the same phenomena that occurred before Newtonian physics. People understood the apples fell but they could not understand why they fell, all they could say was the apple fell and hit me. However Newton figured it out and developed a theory that could help others understand what they were experiencing. After this theory was developed and accepted, people began to understand why the apple fell and then they could explain it
