RE: Gravitational waves - from proposals to observations

in #steemstem6 years ago

Henri poincare once said Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones, but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones in a house. The scientist does not study nature because it is useful, he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing and if nature were not worth knowing life would not be worth living....Henri is a great man, nice post

I tend to only partly agree with that. Scientists study nature because they want to understand how it works. That's it, IMO.
