what do scientists know?


Last night I had an animal sitting on my lap.

She was purring,smiling and stretching out her paws-I call that `love`--and it`s far easier to spell than anthromophormism

Couldn't agree more! Scientists have told us it's aerodynamically impossible for bumblebees to fly .....

Re: what do scientists know?


Speaking as a scientist, I would say that many of my colleagues do not know as much as they think they know and how much they could learn if they just listened / watched with an open mind!

I have learned a great deal from non-humans, especially cats, that has informed my research into humans (who are not as different as they assume).

Just let your instincts guide you as to whether you are witnessing 'love' (all humans once had 'instinct' - we just put it down and forgot where we left it) and ignore those who describe themselves as 'experts', remember, experts built the Titanic, amateurs built the Ark .......
