“When reputable scientists correct flaws in an experiment that produced fantastic results, then fail to get those results when they repeat the test with flaws corrected, they withdraw their original claims. They do not defend them by arguing irrelevantly that the failed replication was successful in some other way, or by making intemperate attacks on whomever dares to criticize their competence.” WayResultsSuccessfulFailingAtheismTestsScientistClaimsOriginalsDarePositive AtheismArguingExperimentsFantasticRepeatsFlawsCriticizeCompetenceReplication Author:Martin Gardner

“It is not realistic or hard-headed to solve problems and take action unguided by ultimate moral aims and values, although we all know some who claim that it is so. In my judgement, it is thoughtless folly. For it ignores the realities of human faith and of passion and of belief; forces ultimately more powerful than all the calculations of our economists or of our generals. Of course to adhere to standards, to idealism, to vision in the face of immediate dangers takes great courage and takes self-confidence. But we also know that only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly.” KnowsHumansSelfProblemRealityActionFacesValuesPassionCoursesBeliefForcePowerfulMoralVisionFailingAchieveDangerJudgmentStandardsUltimateClaimsAimDareSolveSelf ConfidenceFollyRealisticIdealismEconomistCalculations Author:Robert Kennedy
