There is the scientific method of course (what you're talking about), but I think it isn't entirely insane to sometimes just do a ton of experimenting and see where you end up. Edison did a lot of the latter.
- pclmulqdq 2y agoYes, noted non-scientist Edison who stole pretty much everything he claimed to have invented.
- 7thaccount 2y agoI think that view is a bit over the top. He built his own research lab and was responsible for something like 2000 patents. We're all aware of the Tesla story, but being a shrewd businessman and collosal jerk doesn't prevent important contributions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison
