I am completely okay with being wrong.
Research is like driving, as there are many different routes that all lead to the same destination.
There are many different routes to discovery.
Never harass a person that can shut you down through scientific discovery.
If someone tells you that something is impossible and you believe them, you should probably not be a researcher.
The internet has enabled research that was previously done over the lifetime of a large group of researchers to be done in just a few years by a single person.
If I were healthy, I would not research radiation.
I am going to hunt you down with science.
Research is turning the unknown into reality.
...I stayed up all night reading [The Structure of Scientific Revolutions] with demented avidity to the final page, my empirical understanding of the world undone by Kuhn's argument that scientific theories are in essence evolutionarily selected stories, that is fictions that best fit the available factsβuntil the discovery of new facts forces a paradigm shift to a different and better fiction. More than that, he argues that scientist who embrace a new paradigm at an early stageβbefore sufficient evidence has been amassed to trigger a scientific revolutionβdo so not out of a sober consideration of the available facts, or at least not only that, but also with a subjective, irrational, from-the-gut leap of faith.
I find that a little bit of crazy is an essential ingredient of discovery.
Visions, imagination, curiosity and experience give rise to discovery.
The thing I like about scientific discovery is that you can truly change the world by uncovering the unknown.
Before accepting your guess just based on how you feel, let's admit we just don't know, and discover if it's real.
A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems. And not only so. It gives a relish, and facility, for successfully pursuing the [yet] unsolved ones.
What I learned on my own I still remember
It doesn't matter what we cover, it matters what you discover
The greatest discovery is to be founded by God.
Discovery Determines The System Of Education
But I'm an adventurer. I like invention, I like discovery.
