Understand please, most "scientists" are anal-retentive
and trying to please daddy (e.g.- their thesis advisor
or their physics teacher or whatever) so the beginning
of progress is to go AGAINST the scientific establishment.
Hats off to NASA for trying to break out of the mold...
I just hope it works.
Don't get me wrong - the skepticism of the scientific
community is what prevents the really weird stuff -
HOWEVER - the eccentric Trofim Lysenko DID get the
Russians looking at things in a different way, which
yielded an number of interesting scientific advances...
Like what? I have heard of Lysenko, but everything I have heard about him is that he was a quack. I am curious to know what scientific advances resulted from his work.
