Ich have auf eine geringe Vermutung eine gefährliche Reise gewagt und erblicke schon die Vorgebirge neuer Länder. Diejenigen, welche die Herzhaftigheit haben die Untersuchung fortzusetzen, werden sie betreten.
Upon a slight conjecture [on the origin of the solar system] I have ventured on a dangerous journey and I already behold the foothills of new lands. Those who have the courage to continue the search will set foot on them.

Indiana Jones: Archaeology is the search for fact not truth. If its truth you're looking for, Dr. Tyrees philosophy class is right down the hall. So forget any ideas you've got about lost cities, exotic travel, and digging up the world. We do not follow maps to buried treasure, and X never, ever marks the spot. Seventy percent of all archaeology is done in the library. Research. Reading.
A scientist has to be neutral in his search for the truth, but he cannot be neutral as to the use of that truth when found. If you know more than other people, you have more responsibility, rather than less.
All science has God as its author and giver. Much is heard of the conflict between science and religion, and of the contrast between sacred and secular. There may be aspects of truth to which religion is the gate, as indeed there are aspects of truth to which particular sciences are the gate. But if there be a Creator, and if truth be one of his attributes, then everything that is true can claim his authorship, and every search for truth can claim his authority.
All that Anatomie can doe is only to shew us the gross and sensible parts of the body, or the vapid and dead juices all which, after the most diligent search, will be noe more able to direct a physician how to cure a disease than how to make a man; for to remedy the defects of a part whose organicall constitution and that texture whereby it operates, he cannot possibly know, is alike hard, as to make a part which he knows not how is made. Now it is certaine and beyond controversy that nature performs all her operations on the body by parts so minute and insensible that I thinke noe body will ever hope or pretend, even by the assistance of glasses or any other intervention, to come to a sight of them, and to tell us what organicall texture or what kinde offerment (for whether it be done by one or both of these ways is yet a question and like to be soe always notwithstanding all the endeavours of the most accurate dissections) separate any part of the juices in any of the viscera, or tell us of what liquors the particles of these juices are, or if this could be donne (which it is never like to be) would it at all contribute to the cure of the diseases of those very parts which we so perfectly knew.
And science, we should insist, better than other discipline, can hold up to its students and followers an ideal of patient devotion to the search to objective truth, with vision unclouded by personal or political motive, not tolerating any lapse from precision or neglect of any anomaly, fearing only prejudice and preconception, accepting natures answers humbly and with courage, and giving them to the world with an unflinching fidelity. The world cannot afford to lose such a contribution to the moral framework of its civilisation.
As for the search for truth, I know from my own painful searching, with its many blind alleys, how hard it is to take a reliable step, be it ever so small, towards the understanding of that which is truly significant.
Breadth-first search is the bulldozer of science.
Each worldview was a cultural product, but evolution is true and separate creation is not ... Worldviews are social constructions, and they channel the search for facts. But facts are found and knowledge progresses, however fitfully. Fact and theory are intertwined, and all great scientists understand the interaction.
Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;
He who would search for pearls must dive below.

For mathematics, in a wilderness of tragedy and change, is a creature of the mind, born to the cry of humanity in search of an invariant reality, immutable in substance, unalterable with time.
From our home on the Earth, we look out into the distances and strive to imagine the sort of world into which we were born. Today, we have reached far into space. Our immediate neighborhood we know rather intimately. But with increasing distance our knowledge fades The search will continue. The urge is older than history. It is not satisfied and will not be suppressed.
How quickly do we grow accustomed to wonders. I am reminded of the Isaac Asimov story Nightfall, about the planet where the stars were visible only once in a thousand years. So awesome was the sight that it drove men mad. We who can see the stars every night glance up casually at the cosmos and then quickly down again, searching for a Dairy Queen.
Hypochondriacs squander large sums of time in search of nostrums by which they vainly hope they may get more time to squander.
I do not think we can impose limits on research. Through hundreds of thousands of years, mans intellectual curiosity has been essential to all the gains we have made. Although in recent times we have progressed from chance and hit-or-miss methods to consciously directed research, we still cannot know in advance what the results may be. It would be regressive and dangerous to trammel the free search for new forms of truth.
I had always looked upon the search for the absolute as the noblest and most worth while task of science.
I have long been interested in landscape history, and when younger and more robust I used to do much tramping of the English landscape in search of ancient field systems, drove roads, indications of prehistoric settlement. Towns and cities, too, which always retain the ghost of their earlier incarnations beneath today's concrete and glass.
I searched along the changing edge
Where, sky-pierced now the cloud had broken.
I saw no bird, no blade of wing,
No song was spoken.
I stood, my eyes turned upward still
And drank the air and breathed the light.
Then, like a hawk upon the wind,
I climbed the sky, I made the flight.

I think that the difference between pure and applied mathematics is social rather than scientific. A pure mathematician is paid for making mathematical discoveries. An applied mathematician is paid for the solution of given problems.
When Columbus set sail, he was like an applied mathematician, paid for the search of the solution of a concrete problem: find a way to India. His discovery of the New World was similar to the work of a pure mathematician.

I think that the event which, more than anything else, led me to the search for ways of making more powerful radio telescopes, was the recognition, in 1952, that the intense source in the constellation of Cygnus was a distant galaxy1000 million light years away. This discovery showed that some galaxies were capable of producing radio emission about a million times more intense than that from our own Galaxy or the Andromeda nebula, and the mechanisms responsible were quite unknown. ... [T]he possibilities were so exciting even in 1952 that my colleagues and I set about the task of designing instruments capable of extending the observations to weaker and weaker sources, and of exploring their internal structure.
If he [Thomas Edison] had a needle to find in a haystack, he would not stop to reason where it was most likely to be, but would proceed at once with the feverish diligence of a bee, to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. [J]ust a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.
If I had been taught from my youth all the truths of which I have since sought out demonstrations, and had thus learned them without labour, I should never, perhaps, have known any beyond these; at least, I should never have acquired the habit and the facility which I think I possess in always discovering new truths in proportion as I give myself to the search.
In 1684 Dr Halley came to visit him at Cambridge, after they had been some time together, the Dr asked him what he thought the Curve would be that would be described by the Planets supposing the force of attraction towards the Sun to be reciprocal to the square of their distance from it. Sr Isaac replied immediately that it would be an Ellipsis, the Doctor struck with joy & amazement asked him how he knew it, why saith he I have calculated it, whereupon Dr Halley asked him for his calculation without any farther delay. Sr Isaac looked among his papers but could not find it, but he promised him to renew it, & then to send it him.
[Recollecting Newton's account of the meeting after which Halley prompted Newton to write The Principia. When asking Newton this question, Halley was aware, without revealing it to Newton that Robert Hooke had made this hypothesis of plantary motion a decade earlier.]

In essence, science is a perpetual search for an intelligent and integrated comprehension of the world we live in.
In Melvin Calvins office there were four photographs: Michael Polanyi, Joel Hildebrand, Gilbert N. Lewis, and Ernest O. Lawrence. These scientists were his mentors: Polanyi for introducing him to the chemistry of phthalocyanine; Hildebrand for bringing him to Berkeley; Lewis, perhaps his most influential teacher; and Lawrence, who provided him the opportunity to work with the new scientific tool of radioactive carbon, which enabled the search for the path of carbon in photosynthesis to be successful.
In our time this search [for extraterrestrial life] will eventually change our laws, our religions, our philosophies, our arts, our recreations, as well as our sciences. Space, the mirror, waits for life to come look for itself there.
In systemic searches for embryonic lethal mutants of Drosophila melanogaster we have identified 15 loci which when mutated alter the segmental patterns of the larva. These loci probably represent the majority of such genes in Drosophila. The phenotypes of the mutant embryos indicate that the process of segmentation involves at least three levels of spatial organization: the entire egg as developmental unit, a repeat unit with the length of two segments, and the individual segment.

In the beginning was the myth. God, in his search for self-expression, invested the souls of Hindus, Greeks, and Germans with poetic shapes and continues to invest each childs soul with poetry every day.
In the light of knowledge attained, the happy achievement seems almost a matter of course, and any intelligent student can grasp it without too much trouble. But the years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alternations of confidence and exhaustion, and the final emergence into the lightonly those who have experienced it can understand that.
In the search for truth there are certain questions that are not important. Of what material is the universe constructed? Is the universe eternal? Are there limits or not to the universe? ... If a man were to postpone his search and practice for Enlightenment until such questions were solved, he would die before he found the path.
— Budha
Is this your triumphthis your proud applause,
Children of Truth, and champions of her cause?
For this has Science searchd, on weary wing,
By shore and seaeach mute and living thing!

It is a right, yes a duty, to search in cautious manner for the numbers, sizes, and weights, the norms for everything [God] has created. For He himself has let man take part in the knowledge of these things ... For these secrets are not of the kind whose research should be forbidden; rather they are set before our eyes like a mirror so that by examining them we observe to some extent the goodness and wisdom of the Creator.
It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.
It is not always the truth that tells us where to look for new knowledge. We dont search for the penny under the lamp post where the light is. We know we are more likely to find it out there in the darkness. My favorite way of expressing this notion to graduate students who are trying to do very hard experiments is to remind them that God loves the noise as much as he does the signal.
It is open to every man to choose the direction of his striving; and also every man may draw comfort from Lessing's fine saying, that the search for truth is more precious than its possession.
It is still believed, apparently, that there is some thing mysteriously laudable about achieving viable offspring. I have searched the sacred and profane scriptures, for many years, but have yet to find any ground for this notion. To have a child is no more creditable than to have rheumatismand no more discreditable. Ethically, it is absolutely meaningless. And practically, it is mainly a matter of chance.
It is structure that we look for whenever we try to understand anything. All science is built upon this search; we investigate how the cell is built of reticular material, cytoplasm, chromosomes; how crystals aggregate; how atoms are fastened together; how electrons constitute a chemical bond between atoms. We like to understand, and to explain, observed facts in terms of structure. A chemist who understands why a diamond has certain properties, or why nylon or hemoglobin have other properties, because of the different ways their atoms are arranged, may ask questions that a geologist would not think of formulating, unless he had been similarly trained in this way of thinking about the world.
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of a king to search it out.
— Bible
Knowledge of the laws of nature offers humankind the only chance of survival in a changing environment. The search for knowledge gives expression to a basic curiosity which appears to be the salient defining characteristic of human beings.
Lay aside all conceit. Learn to read the book of Nature for yourself. Those who have succeeded best have followed for years some slim thread which once in a while has broadened out and disclosed some treasure worth a life-long search.
Leakeys work on the Olduvai Canyon man has depended a great deal on the observance of a notched break in the shinbones of good-sized animals, which is assumed to have been made by striking a bone with a sharp rock before breaking it over the knee to expose the bone marrow which is edible and nourishing. When he found broken bones with the tell-tale notch, he knew that man must have been there and so began his search.
Long lives are not necessarily pleasurable . We will be lucky if we can postpone the search for new technologies for a while, until we have discovered some satisfactory things to do with the extra time. Something will surely have to be found to take the place of sitting on the porch re-examining ones watch.
Many animals even now spring out of the soil,
Coalescing from the rains and the heat of the sun.
Small wonder, then, if more and bigger creatures,
Full-formed, arose from the new young earth and sky.
The breed, for instance, of the dappled birds
Shucked off their eggshells in the springtime, as
Crickets in summer will slip their slight cocoons
All by themselves, and search for food and life.
Earth gave you, then, the first of mortal kinds,
For all the fields were soaked with warmth and moisture.

Marxism: The theory that all the important things in history are rooted in an economic motive, that history is a science, a science of the search for food.
Mathematics contain a great number of premises, and there is perhaps a kind of intellect that can search with ease a few premises to the bottom, and cannot in the least penetrate those matters in which there are many premises.
Mathematics vindicates the right to stand in the front rank of the pioneers that search the real truth and find it crystallized forever in brilliant gems.
More about the selection theory: Jerne meant that the Socratic idea of learning was a fitting analogy for 'the logical basis of the selective theories of antibody formation': Can the truth (the capability to synthesize an antibody) be learned? If so, it must be assumed not to pre-exist; to be learned, it must be acquired. We are thus confronted with the difficulty to which Socrates calls attention in Meno [ ... ] namely, that it makes as little sense to search for what one does not know as to search for what one knows; what one knows, one cannot search for, since one knows it already, and what one does not know, one cannot search for, since one does not even know what to search for. Socrates resolves this difficulty by postulating that learning is nothing but recollection. The truth (the capability to synthesize an antibody) cannot be brought in, but was already inherent.
Natural historians tend to avoid tendentious preaching in this philosophical mode (although I often fall victim to such temptations in these essays). Our favored style of doubting is empirical: if I wish to question your proposed generality, I will search for a counterexample in flesh and blood. Such counterexamples exist in abundance, for the form a staple in a standard genre of writing in natural historythe wonderment of oddity or strange ways of the beaver tradition.
Nature is mans teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence.
Necessity is not the mother of invention. Knowledge and experiment are its parents. It sometimes happens that successful search is made for unknown materials to fill well-recognized and predetermined requirements. It more often happens that the acquirement of knowledge of the previously unknown properties of a material suggests its trial for some new use. These facts strongly indicate the value of knowledge of properties of materials and indicate a way for research.
Only by following out the injunction of our great predecessor [William Harvey] to search out and study the secrets of Nature by way of experiment, can we hope to attain to a comprehension of 'the wisdom of the body and the understanding of the heart,' and thereby to the mastery of disease and pain, which will enable us to relieve the burden of mankind.
Ordinarily logic is divided into the examination of ideas, judgments, arguments, and methods. The two latter are generally reduced to judgments, that is, arguments are reduced to apodictic judgments that such and such conclusions follow from such and such premises, and method is reduced to judgments that prescribe the procedure that should be followed in the search for truth.
Preferring a search for objective reality over revelation is another way of satisfying religious hunger. It is an endeavor almost as old as civilization and intertwined with traditional religion, but it follows a very different coursea stoics creed, an acquired taste, a guidebook to adventure plotted across rough terrain. It aims to save the spirit, not by surrender but by liberation of the human mind. Its central tenet, as Einstein knew, is the unification of knowledge. When we have unified enough certain knowledge, we will understand who we are and why we are here. If those committed to the quest fail, they will be forgiven. When lost, they will find another way.
Random search for data on ... off-chance is hardly scientific. A questionnaire on 'Intellectual Immoralities' was circulated by a well-known institution. 'Intellectual Immorality No. 4' read: 'Generalizing beyond one's data'. [Wilder Dwight] Bancroft asked whether it would not be more correct to word question no. 4 'Not generalizing beyond one's data.'
Research may start from definite problems whose importance it recognizes and whose solution is sought more or less directly by all forces. But equally legitimate is the other method of research which only selects the field of its activity and, contrary to the first method, freely reconnoitres in the search for problems which are capable of solution. Different individuals will hold different views as to the relative value of these two methods. If the first method leads to greater penetration it is also easily exposed to the danger of unproductivity. To the second method we owe the acquisition of large and new fields, in which the details of many things remain to be determined and explored by the first method.
Science is a search for a repeated pattern. Laws and regularities underlie the display.
Science is the search for truth. It is not a game in which one tries to beat his opponent, to do harm to others. We need to have the spirit of science in international affairs, to make the conduct of international affairs the effort to find the right solution, the just solution of international problems, not the effort by each nation to get the better of other nations, to do harm to them when it is possible.
Scientists do not believe in fundamental and absolute certainties. For the scientist, certainty is never an end, but a search; not the ordering of certainty, but its exploration. For the scientist, certainty represents the highest degree of probability.
Search your parks in all your cities, youll find no statues of committees.
Several very eminent living paleontologists frequently emphasise the abruptness of some of the major changes that have occurred, and seek for an external cause. This is a heady wine and has intoxicated palaeontologists since the days when they could blame it all on Noah's flood. In fact, books are still being published by the lunatic fringe with the same explanation. In case this book should be read by some fundamentalist searching for straws to prop up his prejudices, let me state categorically that all my experience (such as it is) has led me to an unqualified acceptance of evolution by natural selection as a sufficient explanation for what I have seen in the fossil record
Superstrings are totally lacking in empirical support, yet they offer an elegant theory with great explanatory power. I wish I could be around fifty years from now to know whether superstrings turn out to be a fruitful theory or whether they are just another blind alley in the search for a theory of everything.
The advancement of science is slow; it is effected only by virtue of hard work and perseverance. And when a result is attained, should we not in recognition connect it with the efforts of those who have preceded us, who have struggled and suffered in advance? Is it not truly a duty to recall the difficulties which they vanquished, the thoughts which guided them; and how men of different nations, ideas, positions, and characters, moved solely by the love of science, have bequeathed to us the unsolved problem? Should not the last comer recall the researches of his predecessors while adding in his turn his contribution of intelligence and of labor? Here is an intellectual collaboration consecrated entirely to the search for truth, and which continues from century to century.
[Respecting how the work of prior researchers had enabled his isolation of fluorine.]

The alchemists in their search for gold discovered other things [of greater value].
The central task of science is to arrive, stage by stage, at a clearer comprehension of nature, but this does not mean, as it is sometimes claimed to mean, a search for mastery over nature.
The critical mathematician has abandoned the search for truth. He no longer flatters himself that his propositions are or can be known to him or to any other human being to be true; and he contents himself with aiming at the correct, or the consistent. The distinction is not annulled nor even blurred by the reflection that consistency contains immanently a kind of truth. He is not absolutely certain, but he believes profoundly that it is possible to find various sets of a few propositions each such that the propositions of each set are compatible, that the propositions of each such set imply other propositions, and that the latter can be deduced from the former with certainty. That is to say, he believes that there are systems of coherent or consistent propositions, and he regards it his business to discover such systems. Any such system is a branch of mathematics.
The establishment of the periodic law may truly be said to mark a line in chemical science, and we anticipate that its application and and extension will be fraught With the most important consequences. It reminds us how important above all things is the correct determination of the fundamental constants of our sciencethe atomic weights of the elements, about which in many cases great uncertainty prevails; it is much to be desired that this may not long remain the case. It also affords the strongest encouragement to the chemist to persevere in the search for new elements.
The ethics of science regards the search for truth as one of the highest duties of man; it regards noble human character as the finest product of evolution; it considers the service of all mankind as the universal good; it teaches that human nature and humane nurture may be improved, that reason may replace unreason, cooperation supplement competition, and the progress of the human race through future ages be promoted by intelligence and goodwill.
The fascination of any search after truth lies not in the attainment, which at best is found to be very relative, but in the pursuit, where all the powers of the mind and character are brought into play and are absorbed by the task. One feels oneself in contact with something that is infinite and one finds joy that is beyond expression in sounding the abyss of science and the secrets of the infinite mind.
The final results [of work on the theory of relativity] appear almost simple; any intelligent undergraduate can understand them without much trouble. But the years of searching in the dark for a truth that one feels, but cannot express; the intense effort and the alternations of confidence and misgiving, until one breaks through to clarity and understanding, are only known to him who has himself experienced them.
The humble knowledge of thyself is a surer way to God than the deepest search after science.
The individual on his own is stable only so long as he is possessed of self-esteem. The maintenance of self-esteem is a continuous task which taxes all of the individuals powers and inner resources. We have to prove our worth and justify our existence anew each day. When, for whatever reason, self-esteem is unattainable, the autonomous individual becomes a highly explosive entity. He turns away from an unpromising self and plunges into the pursuit of pridethe explosive substitute for self-esteem. All social disturbances and upheavals have their roots in crises of individual self-esteem, and the great endeavor in which the masses most readily unite is basically a search for pride.
The laws of science are the permanent contributions to knowledgethe individual pieces that are fitted together in an attempt to form a picture of the physical universe in action. As the pieces fall into place, we often catch glimpses of emerging patterns, called theories; they set us searching for the missing pieces that will fill in the gaps and complete the patterns. These theories, these provisional interpretations of the data in hand, are mere working hypotheses, and they are treated with scant respect until they can be tested by new pieces of the puzzle.
The oil industry is a stunning example of how science, technology, and mass production can divert an entire group of companies from their main task. ... No oil company gets as excited about the customers in its own backyard as about the oil in the Sahara Desert. ... But the truth is, it seems to me, that the industry begins with the needs of the customer for its products. From that primal position its definition moves steadily back stream to areas of progressively lesser importance until it finally comes to rest at the search for oil.
The philosophic spirit of inquiry may be traced to brute curiosity, and that to the habit of examining all things in search of food. Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.
The pursuits of the greatest trifles may sometimes have a very good effect. The search after the philosophers stone has preserved chemistry; and the following astrology so much in former ages has been the cause of astronomys being so much advanced in ours. Sir Isaac Newton himself has owned that he began with studying judicial astrology, and that it was his pursuits of that idle and vain study which led him into the beauties and love of astronomy.
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, to us insiders) has so far only proved that no matter what you beam upthe Pythagorean theorem, pictures of attractive nude people, etc.the big 800 number in the sky does not return calls.
The search for historical laws is, I maintain, mistaken in principle.
The search [for extra-terrestrial life] is a failure until that moment when it suddenly becomes a success.
The sequence of theorist, experimenter, and discovery has occasionally been compared to the sequence of farmer, pig, truffle. The farmer leads the pig to an area where there might be truffles. The pig searches diligently for the truffles. Finally, he locates one, and just as he is about to devour it, the farmer snatches it away.
The successful launching of the Sputnik was a demonstration of one of the highest scientific and technological achievements of mana tantalizing invitation both to the militarist in search of ever more devastating means of destruction and to the astronomer searching for new means of carrying his instruments away from their earthbound environment.
The traveler was active; he went strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him. He goes sight-seeing.
The truth of Nature is a part of the truth of God; to him who does not search it out, darkness; to him who does, infinity.
The useless search of philosophers for a cause of the universe is a regressus in infinitum (a stepping backwards into the infinite) and resembles climbing up an endless ladder, the recurring question as to the cause of the cause rendering the attainment of a final goal impossible.
There are those who say that the human kidney was created to keep the blood pure, or more precisely, to keep our internal environment in an ideal balanced state. This I must deny. I grant that the human kidney is a marvelous organ, but I cannot grant that it was purposefully designed to excrete urine or to regulate the composition of the blood or to subserve the physiological welfare of Homo sapiens in any sense. Rather I contend that the human kidney manufactures the kind of urine that it does, and it maintains the blood in the composition which that fluid has, because this kidney has a certain functional architecture; and it owes that architecture not to design or foresight or to any plan, but to the fact that the earth is an unstable sphere with a fragile crust, to the geologic revolutions that for six hundred million years have raised and lowered continents and seas, to the predacious enemies, and heat and cold, and storms and droughts; to the unending succession of vicissitudes that have driven the mutant vertebrates from sea into fresh water, into desiccated swamps, out upon the dry land, from one habitation to another, perpetually in search of the free and independent life, perpetually failing, for one reason or another, to find it.
There is a certain way of searching for the truth in mathematics that Plato is said first to have discovered. Theon called this analysis.
There is something irreversible about acquiring knowledge; and the simulation of the search for it differs in a most profound way from the reality.
To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or an ill-apply'd moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far or be too well studied in the book of Gods word, or in the book of Gods works; divinity or philosophy; but rather let men endeavour an endless progress or proficience in both.
To mean understandings, it is sufficient honour to be numbered amongst the lowest labourers of learning; but different abilities must find different tasks. To hew stone, would have been unworthy of Palladio; and to have rambled in search of shells and flowers, had but ill suited with the capacity of Newton.
To speculate without facts is to attempt to enter a house of which one has not the key, by wandering aimlessly round and round, searching the walls and now and then peeping through the windows. Facts are the key.
To-day we not only have no perfect model [of the atom] but we know that it is of no use to search for one.
We are never in search of things, but always in search of the search.
We are the generation that searched on Mars for evidence of life, but couldnt rouse enough moral sense to stop the destruction of even the grandest manifestations of life on earth. In that sense, we are like the Romans whose works of an, architecture, and engineering inspire our awe but whose traffic in slaves and gladiatorial combat is mystifying and loathsome.

We find that one of the most rewarding features of being scientists these days ... is the common bond which the search for truth provides to scholars of many tongues and many heritages. In the long run, that spirit will inevitably have a constructive effect on the benefits which man can derive from knowledge of himself and his environment.
We have no faculties for passing beyond ourselves, yet in ourselves are unfathomed depths, unexplored powers and relations which need fathoming and searching into. As Schopenhauer says, if we would understand nature our course must not only be horizontal, but perpendicular.
What a splendid perspective contact with a profoundly different civilization might provide! In a cosmic setting vast and old beyond ordinary human understanding we are a little lonely, and we ponder the ultimate significance, if any, of our tiny but exquisite blue planet, the Earth In the deepest sense the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is a search for ourselves.
What is it to see, in an Eagle glide
Which fills a human heart with so much pride?
Is it that it soars effortless above the Earth
That steals us from our own limits & dearth?
Trapped in our seas of befuddling sludge
We try and try but cannot budge.
And then to see a mortal; with such ease take wing
Up in a breeze that makes our failing spirits sing?
Do we, vicarious birds, search in it our childishness -
When we too were young & yearned in heart to fly?
Taking flights of fancy through adolescent nights
Listening little, heeding less, knowing not why?
From its highest perch in the forest of snow
Majestic - the Eagle soars alone.
Riding thermals, lording clouds
Till dropping silent from the sky as a stone
But we, so quick and ready to fold
Give up our wings at the whiff of age
Losing years, cursing time, wasting spirit
Living out entire lives in futile rage!

When the intensity of emotional conviction subsides, a man who is in the habit of reasoning will search for logical grounds in favor of the belief which he finds in himself.
Whoever it was who searched the heavens with a telescope and found no God would not have found the human mind if he had searched the brain with a microscope.
Wilderness is an anchor to windward. Knowing it is there, we can also know that we are still a rich nation, tending our resources as we shouldnot a people in despair searching every last nook and cranny of our land for a board of lumber, a barrel of oil, a blade of grass, or a tank of water.
Will fluorine ever have practical applications?
It is very difficult to answer this question. I may, however, say in all sincerity that I gave this subject little thought when I undertook my researches, and I believe that all the chemists whose attempts preceded mine gave it no more consideration.
A scientific research is a search after truth, and it is only after discovery that the question of applicability can be usefully considered.

A scientific research is a search after truth, and it is only after discovery that the question of applicability can be usefully considered.
World views are social constructions and they channel the search for facts. But facts are found and knowledge progresses, however fitfully.
Yet, hermit and stoic as he was, he was really fond of sympathy, and threw himself heartily and childlike into the company of young people whom he loved, and whom he delighted to entertain, as he only could, with the varied and endless anecdotes of his experiences by field and river: and he was always ready to lead a huckleberry-party or a search for chestnuts and grapes.
[Fritz Haber's] greatness lies in his scientific ideas and in the depth of his searching. The thought, the plan, and the process are more important to him than the completion. The creative process gives him more pleasure than the yield, the finished piece. Success is immaterial. Doing it was wonderful. His work is nearly always uneconomical, with the wastefulness of the rich.
[Joseph Rotblat] was a towering figure in the search for peace in the world, who dedicated his life to trying to rid the world of nuclear weapons, and ultimately to rid the world of war itself.
[Science is] the search for unity in the variety of our experience.

Air of discontent around Cerrejón mine deepens
Indigenous people who claim their health and environment has suffered due to work at the Cerrejón coal mine are dismayed by the operation's expansion, writes Ben Quinn. War on Want in the Guardian.
Sebastian Munoz, Senior Programmes Officer (Latin America) at War on Want, said:
"This is the latest blow for Wayuu indigenous and Afro-colombian communities who have been struggling for over thirty years against the Cerrejón mine.
"The dirty, polluting mine has already forced 15 communities from their land and left their lives and livelihoods in tatters - and now a vital water source is to be carved up and destroyed.
"The treatment endured by communities is a scandal, it's time the mine owners respected the rights of communities, and were held to account for their actions."

Peer- Reviewed Study Confirms No Link Between Real World Use of Antibacterial Soaps and Antibiotic Resistance
Submitted by 32652.49986 on October 4, 2011
For Immediate Release:
October 4, 2011
Contact: Brian Sansoni (ACI), 202-662-2517 (office)/ 202-680-9327 (mobile) or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Kathleen Dezio (Council), (202) 454-0302, firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 4, 2011– Newly published research reaffirms that the use of antibacterial wash products in the home environment does not contribute to antibiotic or antibacterial resistance, confirming previous research that showcased similar findings.
The study, published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Microbiology Research, compared the use of over-the-counter antibacterial liquid hand and body cleansers and antibacterial bar soaps – containing the germ-killing ingredients triclosan and triclocarban – against the use of non-antibacterial cleansers.
Lead author Dr. Eugene Cole, who has spent more than 35 years in the field of environmental health research, says the study discounts claims that the use of antibacterial wash products have contributed to the selection and spread of drug-resistant bacteria on human skin.
Research Protocol
From a pool of more than 450 individuals, 210 study participants were randomly selected, 70 for each of three groups: 1) those that frequently used liquid bath or shower products containing triclosan; 2) those that frequently used bar soaps containing triclocarban; and 3) those that did not use any antibacterial wash products and thus served as the control group.
A standard method for swabbing both forearms of all participants was used to collect samples of Staphylococcus bacteria, which were then tested against several different types of antibiotics that are commonly used to treat Staph infections.
The experimental results showed that there was no increase in the antibiotic resistance of the Staph strains isolated from either group that had been using antibacterial wash products, when compared to those isolates obtained from the control group. And those bacteria also showed no increased resistance to triclosan or triclocarban.
"There was no statistically significant difference in antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus isolates obtained from the skin of regular antibacterial wash product users in comparison with non-antibacterial product users," said Dr. Cole, Professor of Environmental Health Sciences of Brigham Young University's Department of Health Science. "There was also a definitive lack of antibiotic and antibacterial cross resistance among those bacteria."
The research was supported by the American Cleaning Institute (ACI) and the Personal Care Products Council.
"Hygiene product manufacturers and ingredient suppliers continuously review and analyze research and fund new studies to ensure product and ingredient efficacy and safety. This is part of our industry's long-standing commitment to product stewardship," said Dr. Francis Kruszewski, ACI Director of Human Health and Safety. "After decades of use, antibacterial wash products continue to play a beneficial role in everyday hygiene routines for millions of people around the world."
"Investigation of Antibiotic and Antibacterial Susceptibility and Resistance in Staphylococcus from the Skin of Users and Non-Users of Antibacterial Wash Products in Home Environments" was authored by Dr. Eugene Cole, along with R.M. Addison, Duke University Medical Center, Clinical Microbiology/Infectious Diseases; P.D. Dulaney, Applied Environmental, Inc.; K.E. Leese, Applied Environmental, Inc.; H.M. Madanat, San Diego State University, Graduate School of Public Health; and A.M. Guffey, Applied Environmental, Inc.

Countdown #51- I pick this one up due to the great 52 series. After all, that's all you have as no one knows what DC is counting down to. There was a chance DC was merely trying to keep the weekly momentum going after 52, but the opening scene between Darkseid and Desaad manipulating figurines of DC heroes around a board lay some of the concerns to rest. Having said that, some things in the issue need explaining. Mary Marvel lost her powers? When did that happen? And isn't the Red Hood (Jason Todd) a bad guy? Why is he fighting crime? Still this series is bold. To produce and coordinate an epic, weekly series within DC's regular monthly titles. That's intriguing to say the least. That's enough to get me onboard, here's hoping another star like Black Adam can come out of this series.
Nova #2- There's hope yet. The first issue of this series was disappointing to me, but this issue was great. Nova's return to Earth was wonderful. Nova returns home for the first time since well before the Civil War and the issue was remarkable in showing how out of the loop Richard Rider is. He didn't know of the New Warriors' death and the effect it had on America. Hell, I doubt he even know Captain America is dead. Nova was once in the superhero community, so the Initiative affect him in significant ways. We see some interesting interaction between Nova and his parents. How do you feel if you see an alien super-computer take over the body of your son? It was funny in a tragic sort of a way. And then there was Tony Stark's Initiative forces showing up on his parents' doorstep. Nova threatening Iron Man? Richard Rider sure have moved up in life. Nova coming to grips with the loss of his friends and the unfamiliar world before him was great, but the best part was his talk with former teammate Justice. That was just the icing on the cake. There's hope yet.
Samurai: Heaven and Earth 2 #4- This is a book full of potential which never got going. Showing a samurai going around the world, chasing after his lady love has provided some memorable moments, mostly due to Luke Ross's superb artwork. However, the flashbacks are unneeded as usual and can we please get to the killing already. I didn't wait 2 months for this book to see...nothing happening. Boring.

I'd been staring at this cache for a while, wondering how to access it:
Dragonfly in K9Sport's Kalifornia TB Hotel
The overhead maps are inconclusive, since there has been construction in the area, and things are different than they look. I could see that the cache is near the busway, but there are fences along that, and no way to walk down it. I finally decided to just go over there and walk around until I could find how to get it. I met up with Spoondoggie and Doc Sylvia (her first geocaching experience!),
… and we wandered down Balboa Boulevard from the park and ride. Sure enough, I spotted a dirt roadway I'd never noticed before, even though I'd driven and walked around the area dozens of times. We walked beside the L. A. River (cemented in) back by a sod farm and out to where the bus way curves south from Victory to Oxnard, and were led directly to the cache!
After conquering that, we headed back out and across the street to pick up a few stragglers in Balboa Park.
The Cee-ment Stream
Trolls? Ah… there's a cache under there!
Greggy's 61st Birthday
Hey, beauty is where you find it.

Chapter 16, Continuedon December 4, 2017 at 7:16 am
Returning to draw the comic did not work out so much. I was too out of practice, and drawing a single comic page took about twice as long as it used to and I absolutely hated the results, even though now I look at them and they seem mostly fine. I also spent much of 2017 with a major case of anhedonia and anxiety over my artwork of any kind, and I've only crawled out of that in the past month or so.
But I announced way back in January that if I couldn't stick to the actual comic updates that I would switch to text updates, so that the twelve of you who are still care can all finally know the rest of this giant crazy story that 200 pages in isn't even 1/3 of the way done. Thanks to stress and depression and all that fun stuff, this took a long time to get started. My hope is now that I've done so it will be much easier to continue.
I'm going to write up a chapter at a time, because there really is a ton of story left and I don't want to just cut it all down to a couple of pages. My plan is to write up two chapters a month, and I'd guess it will take all/most of 2018 to tell the rest of the story. (Yes, I did comically underestimate how long the comic would be when I first started it, why do you ask?)
A few things:
I'm going to take a fairly conversational tone in these write ups, as if I'm sitting down launching into this giant crazy story.
The write ups will be in present tense, which I know some people hate, but I feel like the comic was told in present tense (and so was the RPG obviously) so it would be weird to switch to past tense for the text version.
I'll also be including sketches and artwork, ideally with every text update.
Also, this write up isn't necessarily going to be a recap of the original Clockworks tabletop game. There have already been some changes between the game and the comic, and this write up will be how I intended the comic to go, which will mostly follow the original Savage Worlds campaign, but might change fairly radically in places.
We last saw our heroes in the wealthy island nation/city of Paravo. They accompanied the newest member of the party, Julius introduced the constables to his family, and they learned that Brigitte had thoroughly robbed the Lymos family. Unbeknownst to our heroes, Julius's father Alexander Lymos contacted their old enemy Agent Thorn back in the Great Republic, and made some sort of shady deal. Then, Alexander's automoton butler hired mercenary bounty hunters to capture our heroes.
Unaware of the danger they're in, Julius and the constables set out to the Red Market, Paravo's famous midnight black market, where a friendly little Carbuncle invited Toby and Ophelia to enter the Goblin Market, which may just be a door painted onto an alley wall.
And now….
Our heroes are suddenly attacked in the middle of the Red Market! Ambushed and caught by surprise, the fight does not go well for them! The giant clockbot seen in the background of page 197 attacks Toby and Ophelia with a pair of chain bolas made of pure iron! #1 Toby and Ophelia fall to the ground, defenseless, as the other mercenaries attack Eva, Thorton, and Oliver with electrified weapons that stun and disable them. Oliver takes to the rooftops, and the elven mercenary gives chace, eventually catching him and knocking him out. Eva gets in a few good hits on the brawny mercenary, but she's quickly knocked out by an electrified hit from his gloves. Julius is knocked out instantly, in almost a casually offhand way from the masked mercenary, who turns her attention to Thorton! He fires his bow at her, but she strikes the arrows out of the air with her homemade kludged together ether enhanced spiked swords.
Meanwhile, at Toby's behest Ophelia inches over to him, and just as the mercenaries are about to knock out our two Changeling heroes, Toby grabs Ophelia with his teeth, finds the strength to stand up, and still wrapped in iron chains he charges at the red painted on door to the Goblin Market, turning to shield Ophelia as he dives into the wall head, shoulders, and back first. Fortunately, the painted door is actually magic, and Toby and Ophelia crash into a strange Changelings only section of the black market. The Goblin Market is full of odd and mysterious vendors, peddling everything from strange potions to occult artifacts to bottles of dreams and whispers. The proprietor of the Goblin Market, a Fae Lord named Maximus, looks down at our heroes curiously. (See top illustration.) Outside, the alley wall still intact, the mercenaries find the door does not work.
Meanwhile, Thorton's bow draws the attention of the masked mercenary, who suddenly attacks him with great vigor because she recognizes that bow. It belonged to her uncle, back in Irone. She demands to know how Thorton came to own it, as she launches herself at him with dual electrified swords. She is of course stunned at Thorton's answer that the bow was his father's. She pauses for a moment, stares at him, and asks "Kalak?" She pulls her goggles and mask off, and Thorton stares at her. "Vashte?"
Back inside the Goblin Market, Toby and Ophelia make a deal with Maximus. They are freed from their chains and offered sanctuary within the Goblin Market until their attackers are gone, in exchange for a promise to return to the Goblin Market to buy something before the full moon ends. They agree, but don't stay and hide in the Goblin Market, instead returning outside to try and rescue their friends.
But as Toby and Ophelia return to the Red Market, ready to battle the mercenaries, Vashte yells that the job is off.
There's a round of confusion as Vashte tells the others that Thorton/Kalak is her cousin, that they grew up next door to each other, and though she hasn't seen him since they were children, she's not bringing him in. Her allies are not at all happy about this, but rather than fight her and the remaining heroes they agree to let this go. Before they leave, Vashte tells Thorton they were hired by a clockwork manservant, and our heroes immediately and correctly infer it was the Lymos family servant.
Dazed and confused, our heroes turn to leave the Red Market, but Thorton stops everything to buy himself a sniny new armored longcoat to replace the one that Lukov shot a giant hole in way back in Chapter One.

Legendary record label Apple Records recently commissioned Ross to paint images of the Fab Four themselves with a series of images he's aptly titled "John, Paul, George and Ringo." The paintings will be released this spring in a "Yellow Submarine"-themed box set. CBR got a look at all four paintings of John, Paul, George and Ringo before the label and the artist is set to unveil the final product at the Beatles Shop a tthe Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas on April 30.
"For as long as I can remember hearing music, I have loved the Beatles," Ross said in a statement. "Not only do I believe they are the greatest musical group of all time, but also one of the greatest things to have happened in human history. 'Yellow Submarine' has also been one of my favorite films since I was six years old. The opportunity to work with the Beatles' likenesses in the very inspired context of the 'Yellow Submarine' film is an absolute dream come true. There is so much I love about these men, their legacy and this film."
The paintings follow Ross' work on a poster based on the band's animated 1968 animated film, this time giving a solo spotlight to each Beatle as they appeared during the era of the "Rubber Soul" album just before they broke new psychedelic ground with their music.

Don't Go Alone! Take a Cowriterby Jessie Smith Nov 25, 2017
I have known my cowriter for six years. It's a long story full of coincidences and serendipity, but it completely changed my writing process. I rely on her in so many ways.
We both wrote on an anonymous writing website where we worked on stories under pseudonyms. My cowriter and I met in the typical way: she reviewed my chapter, and out of common courtesy, I reviewed hers in return. We liked each other's work, so we continued to follow and review, and we eventually started private messaging. Even then, we mostly talked about our writing, but over time, we started getting to know each other beyond our pseudonyms.Read More »

Happy Incept Day to Blade Runner's Leon Kowalski!
That's right folks – it's that time again where science-fiction meets real life.
Blade Runner replicant Leon Kowalksi was 'born' today, 10 April 2017. Played by Brion James in the 1982 sci-fi classic, the moustachioed replicant was one of Roy Batty's cohort of unauthorised off-world replicants…
The ones being hunted down by the Blade Runner himself, Rick Deckard.
Destiny 2 Officially Announced
Justice League Gets An Epic New Trailer
First Look At Tomb Raider Reboot
Leon Kowalski is one of the first replicants we meet in Blade Runner, having been interviewed as part of the Voight-Kampff test we see early in the movie. Yep, he's the one who shoots the poor Blade Runner when he asks about his mother…
Of course, Leon isn't the only one to have celebrated his incept date, with the iconic Roy Batty born back on 8 January 2016. Then there was Pris who celebrated her incept date on 14 February 2016 – A Valentine's Day creation…
Finally, Zhora was incepted on 12 June 2016.
And so despite appearances, that makes Leon the youngster of the group.
"My birthday's April 10 2017… how long do I live?"
Of course, there's also Rachael – who finds out during the course of the movie that she's a replicant. Her incept date is still to come, on 26 May 2017. As for Rick Deckard… we're not entirely sure.
It's been assumed by many that Deckard was a replicant… but will we eventually find out his incept date in the upcoming sequel, Blade Runner 2049?
For now, we'll have to wait and see.
Blade Runner 2049 stars Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling, Edward James Olmos, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, David Dastmalchian and Ana de Armas.
Denis Villeneuve is directing the movie based on a script by Hampton Fancher and Michael Green.
Blade Runner 2049 heads to cinemas on 6 October 2017.
Gary Barlow Has A Star Wars 8 Cameo?
The Predator Adds Edward James Olmos
Han Solo's Star Wars Spin-Off Adds Ian Kenny
Are you looking forward to Blade Runner 2049? Do you think we'll find out Deckard's incept date? Let us know what you think in the comments below…

Recent Stroke news from ScienceDaily:
In 1993, neurologist Camilo Gomez, M.D., coined a phrase that for a quarter century has been a fundamental rule of stroke care: 'Time is brain!' The longer therapy is delayed, the less chance it will be successful. But the 'time is brain' rule is not as simple as it once seemed, Dr. Gomez now reports in a new study.
A new study examines the factors that influence how a person adapts to visual field loss following stroke.
New research gives unexpected insights into how the nervous system controls leg movements in walking. These findings could aid in directing rehabilitation in stroke patients as well as the design of artificial, or prosthetic, legs.
A new study found that just a half-hour of hookah smoking resulted in the development of cardiovascular risk factors similar to what has been seen with traditional cigarette smoking.
People who feel faint, dizzy or lightheaded when standing up may be experiencing a sudden drop in blood pressure called orthostatic hypotension. Now a new study says middle-aged people who experience such a drop may have a greater risk of developing dementia or stroke decades later.
Cardiac specialists say they are alarmed by new research findings showing that women admitted to 41 Australian hospitals with serious heart attacks were half as likely as men to receive appropriate diagnostic tests and treatment, and less likely to be referred for cardiac rehabilitation and prescribed preventive medications at discharge.
People who engaged in the highest levels of total physical activity were twice as lively to avoid stroke, heart disease, angina, cancer and diabetes, and be in optimal physical and mental shape 10 years later, experts found.
A clinical trial of the use of adrenaline in cardiac arrests has found that its use results in less than 1 percent more people leaving hospital alive — but almost doubles the risk of severe brain damage for survivors of cardiac arrest. The research raises important questions about the future use of adrenaline in such cases and will necessitate debate amongst healthcare professionals, patients and the public.
Study conducted in Southern Hemisphere's subtropical zone detects correlation between drop in temperature and rise in deaths from stroke, especially among women and older people.
Postmenopausal factors may have an impact on the heart-protective qualities of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) — also known as 'good cholesterol.' The findings bring into question the current use of total HDL cholesterol to predict heart disease risk.
How to Minimize Damage from Strokes. Following a stroke, factors as varied as blood sugar, body temperature and position in bed can affect patient outcomes, Loyola University Medical Center researchers report. ScienceDaily (May 14, 2012)
- Elderly Women With Common Heart Condition at Higher Risk for Stroke.

ScienceDaily (Sep. 21, 2011)
Time Is of the Essence When It Comes to Stroke Treatment. Time is of the essence when it comes to stroke treatment. But a new image guided technique – computed tomography perfusion (CTP) – could help shift the criterion from one that is determined by how long after the start of symptoms a patient receives medical care, suggests a small US study published online in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery. ScienceDaily (Sep. 19, 2011)
Despite Benefits, Few Brain Aneurysm Patients Receive Specialized Care. The Neurocritical Care Society is releasing a comprehensive set of guidelines this week to guide physicians and hospitals on how to optimally care for patient's ruptured brain aneurysms. One of the strongest recommendations is that all patients receive specialized care at high-volume stroke centers that treat at least 60 cases per year. ScienceDaily (Sep. 19, 2011)

Linkin Park bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell remembered the band's late singer Chester Bennington in a series of tweets Saturday.
"A huge part of Chester's legacy will be the memories we hold of him in our hearts," Farrell wrote. "He was an enthusiastic, playful father. An honest, and passionate musician, and a loyal friend. I've been touched to see memorials that have been held worldwide."
Farrell also thanked Linkin Park fans for the outpouring of support in the aftermath of Bennington's death by suicide July 20th at the age of 41.
"It goes without saying, this last week has been extremely difficult," the bassist wrote. "The outpouring of love and kindness I've received from friends and fans from all over the world has been incredible. I wish I could personally thank every one of you for your love and support."
Phoenix then retweeted photos from dozens of the makeshift, fan-driven Bennington memorials that took place Saturday worldwide, from Russia and Lima, Peru to New York's Central Park and Johannesburg, South Africa.
Earlier in the week, Linkin Park issued their first statement since Bennington's death, writing of the "shockwaves of grief and denial are still sweeping through our family as we come to grips with what has happened."
"Talking with you about the years ahead together, your excitement was infectious. Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled—a boisterous, funny, ambitious, creative, kind, generous voice in the room is missing," Linkin Park wrote.
"We're trying to remind ourselves that the demons who took you away from us were always part of the deal. After all, it was the way you sang about those demons that made everyone fall in love with you in the first place. You fearlessly put them on display, and in doing so, brought us together and taught us to be more human. You had the biggest heart, and managed to wear it on your sleeve."

Political rabble-rouser, former VP candidate, reality star and spot-on Tina Fey impersonator Sarah Palin used her (almost) inimitable style recently to knock the United Nations. Surprising some, she quoted Lewis Carroll's most famous creation, Alice In Wonderland.
The famous words Palin chose to borrow — "curiouser and curiouser" occur in the novel like this:
"Curiouser and curiouser!" cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).
Palin is poised to mine more of the riches found among Carroll's words to help describe our current political realities. Here is a selection you may well hear before the polls close in November:
- If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.
- 'But I don't want to go among mad people,' said Alice. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.'
- She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it). Said Sarah to Hillary?
- Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
- 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty (Trumpty Trumpty?) said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.'
- Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.
