“All of the experiments are really cool. Probably one of the better ones is "Running in the Rain." It depends on circumstances: how fast are you running, if there's wind, or any of the other things involved with the circumstances of running in the rain. That's a favorite, I suppose.” IfsRunningWindDependsInvolvedCircumstancesRainExperimentsReally Cool Author:Jamie Hyneman
“In my teaching and consulting practice, I encourage people to learn to experiment with confidence and to see themselves as scientists in the laboratory of their lives, continually trying new ways to pursue what matters most to them and to the people who depend on them. Smart, small wins are crucial to this approach, as is devoting time and attention to reflecting on what works and what doesn't.” PeopleWayTryingMatterWinningAttentionPracticeTeachingDependsApproachSmartScientistExperimentsPursueCrucialNew WaysWhat MattersReflectingLaboratoryConsultingSmall Wins Author:Stewart D.

“It is true that physics gives a wonderful training in precise, logical thinking-about physics. It really does depend upon accurate reproducible experiments, and upon framing hypotheses with the greatest possible freedom from dogmatic prejudice. And if these were the really important things in life, physics would be an essential study for everybody.” IfsThinkingLifeGivingDoeImportantWould BeScienceFreedomStudyWonderfulDependsEssentialsTrainingImportancePrejudiceImportant ThingsPhysicsExperimentsLogicalAccurateThings In LifePreciseHypothesisDogmaticLogical ThinkingFraming Author:Anthony Standen
