science opportunity thinking
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives.

Richard P. Feynman

Nobody knows how it can be like that.

Cheetah genes cooperate with cheetah genes but not with camel genes, and vice versa.
