Reflection Science involves a mix of attitudes: it requires... an almost complete openess to all ideas,
no matter how bizarre and weird they sound. If one insists that it is ridiculous,
one will be forever closed to the major findings of science. But at the same time,
science requires the most vigorous and compromising skepticism,
because the vast majority of ideas are simply wrong and the only way
to distinguish the right from the wrong is by critical experiment and analysis.
