Thread Name: BS - Science Question for Amos or Wolfgang
Subject: RE: BS - Science Question for Amos or Wolfgang
Bruce, yes. I know this, not in science, but in other things.

I've been wondering though... would most people rather wonder about things, or know them? Which part of the process of discovering is of more interest-- the long time spent wondering about and coming at a thing from different angles, or the moment when it all falls into place? Or do you like them equally but differently? Or does this vary according to what sort of thing it is, or why you want to know... leaving aside the obvious like survival-level stuff or stuff attached to paychecks!

Would you rather know, or be finding out?

I have a date with a cello this morning. Will it turn out to be better to know that I can or cannot become a cello player, or will I prefer to have just wondered?

Will it have more impact on me to have wondered about God, or to get the answers?

Stuff like that.

Your turns.

OK if I turn your thread sideways, LH?
