Why truly innovative science demands a leap into the unknown?

Why truly innovative science demands a leap into the unknown?


科學研究，
是繁複的探究過程，
過程充滿挑戰和艱困，
路徑並不是從A到B的便捷歷程，
而是時時陷在五里霧中的迷失感，
從A到未知的C的考驗。
心會挫折，
會想走安全的路徑，
因而不能有所突破。
Uri Alon的分享很受用。
他藉由寫博士論文的挫折，
及參加即興劇場演出的經驗，
提出the cloud的體驗，
I'm in the cloud，
表示我們在探究未知的領域，
cloud是介於known和unknown的之間的領域，
唯有置身cloud，
才能通往更新的發現。
在cloud之中，
我們需要同儕、支援 ，
也需要為自己打氣：
用Yes, and ...的心態，
發揮自己的創造力。
到達C，
我們將有幸發現從未碰觸的領域，
心將一片和詳。
一切的努力和堅持，
都是值得的。

*And what I might ask you to remember from this talk is that next time you face a problem you can't solve in work or in life, there's a word for what you're going to see: the cloud. And you can go through the cloud not alone but together with someone who is your source of support to say "Yes, and" to your ideas, to help you say "Yes, and" to your own ideas, to increase the chance that, through the wisps of the cloud, you'll find that moment of calmness where you get your first glimpse of your unexpected discovery, your C.
