Public Sticky notes
Every age has its paradigms. Though scientists try to be
objective, philosophical
considerations do intrude on the scientific, creative process. That is not a bad
thing because these beliefs are crucial in providing direction to
their inquiries and fuel for the creativity mill.

Experiments are the sole
judge of scientific truth---nature eventually wins. The ideas are crucial to
understanding the world but they eventually yield to the facts. Science makes us
confront the world.
