Science Journals

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Comments

Carl Littmann(United States):

(Regarding Reading Skills, etc.,) strikes me as a constructive, needed, and educational paper with many important points. And more than ever in this ever technologically advancing world, those with early-developed great perceptional and, especially, reading skills, can really 'go to town.'
But I would still caution that there is much merit to another school of thought often taught in the midwest U.S. in the 1970s -- that human intelligence and creativity is such an awesome and broad manifold of nature -- that it can not and should not be confined to simple aphorisms like 'humans only think in terms of words'. Obama & Hillary (attorneys) had great reading & linguistic skills, but the U.S. presidency was won by Trump who could hardly articulate a sensible or non-contradicting two sentences, and sometimes not even one.
Faraday, who could not understand calculus and even some more basic math, was (I think) at least as creative & contributing as H. Davies, who was a real wizard -- but who seemed incapable of appreciating Faraday's contribution to electric motor development. Chief Crazy Horse beat Civil War & West Point veteran General Custer on the battle field around 1876.
I believe (as do many educators also) that different human beings grasp different skills and concepts differently regarding ease & difficulty depending on their different types of innate abilities and the different type Signal packages (different educational approaches) used.
I (about 75 years old) can catch on to a new computer skill in 10 seconds of watching someone going through the actions slowly ---- yet if I had to read a full page of detailed instructions of those actions and then try to carry it out -- it might take me an hour (at best). Still I respect greatly those who catch on to that page by Fast-Skillful Reading and great memory in 5 seconds or even less. And having it in writing as backup in case any one forgets.
