But The Need For Conflict To Expose

It Was At Bell Labs That I First Made Direct Contact With Real Semiconductor Experts And Thus Began To Fully Understand What Amazing Materials They Were And What They Could Do.

It Is An Interesting Fact That During My Tour I Was Never Allowed Access To Computers, Radios, Or Anything Else That I Might Damage Through Curiosity, Or Perhaps Something More Sinister.

It Is Ironic That Einsteins Most Creative Work, The General Theory Of Relativity, Should Boil Down To Conceptualizing Space As A Medium When His Original Premise [in Special Relativity] Was That No Such Medium Existed[..].

I Also Taught Myself How To Blow Glass Using A Propane Torch From The Hardware Store And Managed To Make Some Elementary Chemistry Plumbing Such As Tees And Small Glass Bulbs.

But The Need For Conflict To Expose Prejudice And Unclear Reasoning, Which Is Deeply Embedded In My Philosophy Of Science, Has Its Origin In These Debates.
