Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of sci

Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental pillars of scientific inquiry: reason, observation, and experience. Reason refers to the logical and critical thinking required to formulate hypotheses and make deductions. Observation involves gathering empirical evidence through careful scrutiny of the natural world or laboratory experiments. Experience involves learning from past discoveries and applying accumulated knowledge. Together, these three elements constitute the "holy trinity" of science, as they guide scientists in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the world around us.

Your death and my death are mainly of importance to ourselves. The black plumes will be stripped off our hearses within the hour; tears will dry, hurt hearts close again, our graves grow level with the church-yard, and although we are away, the world wags on. It does not miss us; and those who are near us, when the first strangeness of vacancy wears off, will not miss us much either.

To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking -- and since it cannot, in order to become its echo I have, in a way, to silence it. I bring to this incessant speech the decisiveness, the authority of my own silence.
