Damon knight wrote THE MAN IN THE TREE.

One of my favourite authors. This is an extract from that book 




Damon knight

As for mathematics, It's not an exact science.

As someone once said, when God created the world, He didn't bother to make any internal structure. A tree was just a tree, Until somebody cut one down. Then he had to create the rings,

When somebody invented a microscope he had 

to create all the internal structure that you

Couldn't see with the naked eye. Bacteria cells,

Corpuscles. When we invented more powerful

Microscopes and instruments, For looking at the inside of atoms, He had to make protons electrons and neutrons. Know it's quarks and leptons and so on, That's why particle physics is such a mess, because God is making it up as he goes along.
