Dear Questioners,

“The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he is one who asks the right questions.” –Claude Levi-Strauss

What we know in science is only useful in what it helps us discover. Facts, formulas, equations–those things are all useful and helpful, but the essence of science is in the questions that help us discover new things about the how the world works. Developing new ideas about the universe is the purpose of education, learning, and culture. When we come up with these ideas or the questions that lead to them, the whole world of human thought changes.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
