متن يادداشت

Introduction: Humanity's urge to understand -- Elements of scientific thinking : skepticism, careful reasoning, and exhaustive evaluation are all vital: Science Is universal ; Maintaining a critical attitude: Reasonable skepticism ; Respect for the truth ; Reasoning: Deduction ; Induction ; Paradigm shifts ; Evaluating scientific hypotheses: Ockham's razor ; Quantitative evaluation ; Verification by others ; Statistics : correlation and causation ; Statistics : the indeterminacy of the small ; Careful definition ; Science at the frontier: When good theories become ugly ; Stuff that just does not fit -- Christopher Columbus and the discovery of the "Indies" : it can be disastrous to stubbornly refuse to recognize that you have falsified your own hypothesis -- Antoine Lavoisier and Joseph Priestley both test the befuddling phlogiston theory : junking a confusing hypothesis may be necessary to clear the way for new and productive science -- Michael Faraday discovers electromagnetic induction but fails to unify electromagnetism and gravitation : it is usually productive to simplify and consolidate your hypotheses -- Wilhelm Rontgen intended to study cathode rays but ended up discovering X-rays : listen carefully when Mother Nature whispers in your ear : she may be leading you to a Nobel Prize -- Max Planck, the first superhero of quantum theory, saves the universe from the ultraviolet catastrophe : assemble two flawed hypotheses about a key phenomenon into a model that fits experiment exactly and people will listen to you even if you must revolutionize physics -- Albert Einstein attacks the problem "Are atoms real?" from every angle : solving a centuries-old riddle in seven different ways can finally resolve it -- Niels Bohr models the hydrogen atom as a quantized system with compelling exactness, but his later career proves that collaboration and developing new talent can become more significant than the groundbreaking research of any individual -- Conclusions, status of science, and lessons for our time: Conclusions from our biographies ; What thought processes lead to innovation? ; Is the scientist an outsider? ; The status of the modern scientific enterprise ; Lessons for our time ; Can the scientific method be applied to public policy? ; Why so little interest in science? ; Knowledge is never complete
