Bad science has hampered imagination by forcing established paradigms down the throats of students before they've developed their own critical thinking faculties. Good science would empower imagination by arming it with experimentation!
- tunap 10y agoMy favorite quote from a modern historian seems apropo here. The book is a long version of a short history of nearly everything: "Imagination drew in bold strokes, instantly serving hopes and fears, while knowledge advanced by slow increments and contradictory witnesses." -Boorstin The Discoverers edit: add a link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Discoverers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Discoverers
