However from the point of view of a scientist, a hypothesis without data is worthless, as there is no grounding in reality.zandperlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700239961953729095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623883.post-1133211903060815392005-11-28T16:05:00.000-05:002005-11-28T16:05:00.000-05:00Your remarks about Galileo made me think about how...Your remarks about Galileo made me think about how much subjectiveness remains in science. Data is worthless, but data refined into information is priceless.<BR/><BR/>I frequently think of the years of training that it takes to become a radialogist. Despite all that hard work only experience can hone a person's judgement to distinguish that a blemish on an x-ray smaller than a grain of sand is nothing of consequence or the beginnings of a malignant breat cancer.<BR/><BR/>I'm rambling a bit but I think my overall point is that science hasn't quite shed light into all the dark corners yet. In the case of quantum mechanics (Yung's Double Slit experiment, etc) it sometimes introduces new corners.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>P.
