Vinod Pressure Cooker And Safety Valve
I honestly believe that one of the special
sensations that a person can experience is
the moment to discover or understand deeply
fact. Is a moment of epiphany
difficult to transcribe in plain words.
The best analogy I can find is the feeling that a gap opens
and vertigo invades the mind.
is common to find the story that make some scientists
moments when
perceived depth of an idea. For example, Einstein
speaks of an understanding of what we now call
Principle of Equivalence, sitting in his office
patents. Heisenberg, take a break from the overwhelming
Bohr, came up with the ideas of uncertainty
in the Danish countryside and went to the top of a rock.
Dirac understood the need to render your
equation (Dirac) facing the spark of fire. Roetgen
entered a frenzied state of excitement
of which his wife was a participant. All are examples of magical moments
different from the
abstraction that normally characterizes a scientist.
not introspection, if not excitement.
I invite anyone who reads these lines and know of
curious stories like these to share them with us.
