优秀科学家在将其发现公开以前,总试图否定它。他们攻击自己的结果,寻找理论漏洞或实验失误。经过这种毁灭性的自我检验后,优秀研究人员会忍受同行评估的粗鲁折腾,经过严酷的科学争论,其实验数据可能无法立足。许多古怪的想法在信封背面提出,在工作台上试验,发现缺陷就把它放弃。但一旦科学与政治相遇,心怀叵测的人就会走得很远。 Outstanding scientists always try to deny it until it discovers it. They attack their own results, looking for theoretical holes or experimental mistakes. After this devastating self-test, outstanding researchers will endure the rudeness and frustration of peer review and, after harsh scientific arguments, may not have experimental data. Quite a few weird ideas were put on the back of the envelope, tried on the workbench, and discarded it when it was found flawed. But once the science and politics meet, those who are determined will go a long way.
