Scientists Willing To Risk Their Reputations On

It's Risky To Allow Radiation To Constantly Go Up Into The Atmosphere. The Main Criticism Of This Approach Of Entombing It Is That It Would Cost Too Much, Involve Too Many Resources And People. But Think Of The Cost Of Having All The Crops Impounded By The Government, All The Milk Being Thrown Into The River, People's Livelihoods Destroyed.

Like Music Or Art, Mathematical Equations Can Have A Natural Progression And Logic That Can Evoke Rare Passions In A Scientist. Although The Lay Public Considers Mathematical Equations To Be Rather Opaque, To A Scientist An Equation Is Very Much Like A Movement In A Larger Symphony. Simplicity. Elegance. These Are The Qualities That Have Inspired Some Of The Greatest Artists To Create Their Masterpieces, And They Are Precisely The Same Qualities That Motivate Scientists To Search For The Laws Of Nature. Like A Work Of Art Or A Haunting Poem, Equations Have A Beauty And Rhythm All Their Own.

Science Is About Principles. It's About Concepts. It's Not About Memorizing The Parts Of A Flower. It Helps To Know Some Of These Things, But If That's All You Do That's Not Science, Science Is About Principles And Concepts.

Modern Thinking Is That Time Did Not Start With The Big Bang, And That There Was A Multiverse Even Before The Big Bang. In The Inflation Theory, And In String Theory, There Were Universes Before Our Big Bang, And That Big Bangs Are Happening All The Time. Universes Are Formed When Bubbles Collide Or Fission Into Smaller Bubles.

[t]he Yeoman's Work In Any Science, And Especially Physics, Is Done By The Experimentalist, Who Must Keep The Theoreticians Honest.
