16
"Q. You do not consider your statement a disloyal one?A. No, sir. Scientific truth is beyond loyalty and disloyalty.Q. Can you prove that this mathematics is valid?A. Only to another mathematician.Q. Your claim then is that your truth is of so esoteric a nature that it is beyond the understanding of a plain man. It seems to me that truth should be clearer than that, less mysterious, more open to the mind.A. It presents no difficulties to some minds. The physics of energy transfer, which we know as thermodynamics, has been clear and true through all the history of man since the mythical ages, yet there may be people present who would find it impossible to design a power engine. People of high intelligence, too."

But arguments on thevalidity of the result are largely left-hemisphere functions."
16
"The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it."
16
"The electrical, electronics and wireless radio frequency (RF) industries are creating an increasingly high radiation environment for the human. This is comparable to the elevated radiation environment found at high altitudes and smart health researchers would be wise to contrast high altitude diseases to the epidemics of our time, such as Autism, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Fibromyalgia, Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), and so on."
16
"Smart radiation researchers use radiation resistance health techniques in order to offset the known biological harm of their toxic radiation exposures."
16
"Lashley also reported no apparent change in the general behavior of a rat when significant fractions-say 10 percent-of its brain were removed. But no one asked the rat of its opinion."
16
"Whence come I and whither go I? That is the great unfathomable question, the same for every one of us. Science has no answer to it."
