As a quantum physicist he would have been acutely aware that at the deepest level, nature disobeys the commutative law.

Even after the relevance of the commutative law has been pointed out, some bloggers don’t accept it.

Maybe we’re wired to doubt the commutative law because in daily life, it usually matters what you do first.

Without that breakdown of the commutative law, there would be no Heisenberg uncertainty principle, atoms would collapse, and nothing would exist.

Fair enough, but that begs the question I’d like to explore in some depth here: Is this commutative law of multiplication, a × b = b × a, really so obvious?
