The thing that doesn't fit is the thing that is most interesting.

(Joan,1941) She wrote me a letter asking,"How can I read it?,Its so hard." I told her to start at the beginning and read as far as you can get until you're lost. Then start again at the beginning and keep working through until you can understand the whole book. And thats what she did

We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to cover up all the tracks, to not worry about the blind alleys or describe how you had the wrong idea first, and so on. So there isn't any place to publish, in a dignified manner, what you actually did in order to get to do the work, although, there has been in these days, some interest in this kind of thing.

There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.

As you know, a theory in physics is not useful unless it is able to predict underlined effects which we would otherwise expect.

Work hard to find something that fascinates you.

Science is a way for us to not fool ourselves.
