Just in case.
"Cargo Cult Science"
-- Richard Feynman

Cargo Cult Science, Richard Feynman calls, is the state like that people in the South Seas wait for never-landing-airplains with good materials to land making the runaways or headphones with wood. The essential problem is that the planes don't land.

In order to avoid having cargo cult science, you have to give not only the information that leads to judgement in one particular direction or another, but all of the information to help others to judge the value of your information.

You do not fool yourself and others by trying to be an ordinary human being, not a scientist.

We should know not only how to get certain results, but how to do an experiment with scientific integrity.

Richard Feynman was awarded the Nobel Prize of Physics for "Feynman Diagrams."

He loved physics itself so that he said "I don't like honors, unreal t me."

He was enthusiastic about his work so that he was trying to solve the problem just four days before his major surgery, but also he loved his friends and family.

He was also interested in other fields, so he played the bongo, and allowed his daughter to choose not being a scientist, but a photographer.

He always emphasized "experimental" to science.
