"There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry ... There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. Our political life is also predicated on openness. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress."

On the way to coffee shop I got a pretty cool (partial) panorama of a little stand of Cottonwood trees. I imagine it as a little space in Nature that forest nymphs would like to live, if they liked to live in cities. Or, maybe, it's where the Buddha could sit and contemplate the Universe. Anyway, here is the pic:
