Science in action

Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science. – Robert Green Ingersoll

We as humans can learn a lot about science watching animals interact in nature.  They seem to quickly reason by observation and then by testing out their theories they experience and simply know what to do next.  They don't dwell on the outcome, they just accept it and move on.  For some things, I'd say we as humans would be better off if we processed situations like that.  Just think of a time when you reasoned about something, observed, tried your theory out, discovered that you were on the right track and accomplished the task at hand.  Wasn't it easy to accept and move on to the next thing?  Gotta love science in action.

Happy Wednesday - thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy your moments of science today!

Normally Copper leaves the hamster alone,
this day he reasoned himself into observation mode.

He got bored for a few minutes and walked away.

Tried another angle and then finally walked off.
Experience told him - the ball wins for keeping
his prey safe!
