I Am Become Death, The Destroyer Of

The Most Beautiful Philosophical Song Existing In Any Known Tongue.

It Is Not Possible To Be A Scientist Unless You Believe That It Is Good To Learn... That It Is Of The Highest Value To Share Your Knowledge... With Anyone Who Is Interested... That The Knowledge Of The World, And The Power Which This Gives, Is A Thing Which Is Of Intrinsic Value To Humanity

Science Starts With Preconception, With The Common Culture, And With Common Sense. It Moves On To Observation, Is Marked By The Discovery Of Paradox, And Is Then Concerned With The Correction Of Preconception.

And As It Moves Along This Course The Nature Of The Evidence And Experience That Nourish It Becomes More And More Unfamiliar; It Is Not Just The Language That Is Strange [to Common Culture].
