Whenever you look at a piece of work and you think the fellow was crazy, then you want to pay some attention to that. One of you is likely to be, and you had better find out which one it is. It makes an awful lot of difference Picture Quote #1

Research is industrial prospecting. The oil prospectors use every scientific means to find new paying wells. Oil is found by each one of a number of methods.

We have only stumbled upon a few barrels of physical laws from the great pool of knowledge. Some day we are going to hit a gusher Picture Quote #1
