The world is complicated,
Filled with complicated things,
If something seems simple,
It’s likely a reflection of your perspective,
Add a few layers of inquiry into anything,
Question why it is the way it is,
How did it get that way?
Why does it do what it does?
Does it do anything else?
What other things is it connected to?
How are they connected?
And why does that other thing do the things it does?
What else is it connected to it?
And how did it get that way?
It’s okay to ask questions.
For the most part, you can live a long happy life without questioning too many things,
But every once in a while you will come across something,
Something interesting, like a news story,
Something important like a diagnosis,
Or something that just keeps you up at night,
Like how the concept of object permanence, seems completely lacking in quantum wave functions * sigh*.
So you decide to do your own research.
First, good for you.
But wait… before you start choosing a Greek symbol to represent object permanence,
(I recommend an upper case Omega as it kind of looks like a zero and is sure to cause necessary confusion.)
Another way to satisfy all your craven curiosity about the world around you while learning about how research is prepared, executed, and analyzed is by simply listening to This Week in Science!
