First, we guess it (audience laughter), no, don’t laugh, that’s the truth. Then we compute the consequences of the guess, to see what, if this is right, if this law we guess is right, to see what it would imply and then we compare the computation results to nature or we say compare to experiment or experience, compare it directly with observations to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment, it’s WRONG. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is. If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong.

draft minutes of June 29, 2014 LNC meeting
by Alicia Mattson 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Attached is the first draft of the minutes from the June 29 LNC meeting following the convention. I've got a section on the front page to guide you through the deadlines for comments and revised updates for the "auto-approval" process described in my previous email. While I'm handing out points, there is a "Waldo" hidden in the minutes. Be the first person on the LNC to identify the Waldo to me, and I will award you a point. You'll know it when you see it. :-) Waldo will be removed for subsequent versions, obviously. Alicia Mattson LNC Secretary
