Sayings to go with!

There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.

-- J. Robert Oppenheimer

The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books.
It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books
- a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.

--- Albert Einstein
