Wow, just #awesomesauce .
I’m posting this Richard Feynman video because my brain is overwhelmed with the kindness from my friends and people I don’t even know on G+ and I couldn’t think of something clever. So thank you all who participated in #HappyBirthdayMrMRI . Thank you for the good wishes.
There were so many clever and cute posts. I’ll respond more later. I have to walk my dog and get some work done. So I leave you with the scientific method from Richard Feynman. h/t Jennifer Ouellette
In general, we look for a new law by the following process: First we guess it; then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right; then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is — if it disagrees with experiment, it is wrong.

QualiaSoup has a great video on the burden of proof and other great videos on logic.
