    This is the one thing I don’t like about some doctors and scientists: they think they know everything, and in doing so they become lazy and dismissive (or they only care about money and fame). They should always be curious, and always seek to find the next truth, no matter what the general consensus is in the community. Good on De La Mata for challenging the status quo.

      This is literally an example of a scientist being curious about something they don’t know and setting up an extremely far fetched experiment.

      that’s a good philosophy in general. but I’m practice, it’s hard.

      for every million “that can’t be” theories only a handful pan out. doing every “stupid” experiment is practically impossible.
