"Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future." Neils Bohr............."The unpredictability inherent in human affairs is due largely to the fact that the by-products of a human process are more fateful than the product." Eric Hoffer............."Do not allow yourself to be influenced by the sayings that something is obvious, whether a single man is saying so or whether it is a common opinion, for the desire for power leads men to shameful things, particularly in the case of divided opinions." Moses Maimonide............."Science is organized skepticism and the consensus must shift in the light of the evidence." Lord Martin Rees.
