Daydreaming
In NYT's Wednesday issue, specifically the usual Science Times section, there was an interesting article, "What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?", wherein fourteen scientists were asked to ponder everything from string theory to true love. God and abu Gharaib were also included. The individual takes were quite fascinating. Why read this when you can go to the source at Edge.org. Respondents included Howard Gardner, Alison Gopnik, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Jared Diamond, & Ian McEwan. Brain's in full-tilt boogie mode.
