Dear Mike,

Friend, I'll stand by what I wrote. Einstein said: "Imagination
is more important than knowledge." Science is held back by old
beliefs, by the lack of leaps of the imagination. If one rigidly
holds to old paradigms, new ones will remain hidden. UFOs have
demonstrated that our knowledge of physics is limited--that we
have much more to learn. Certainly you don't believe that
science has reached its zenith, that we know all there is to
know. In order to discover new truths, we have to stretch our
minds, to reach out further than we have, which means letting go
of old beliefs that clog our ability to perceive new truths.
Open-mindeness has everything to do with science.


"Sit down before fact like a little child, and be prepared to
give up every preconceived notion, follow humbly wherever and to
whatever abyss Nature leads, or you shall learn nothing."
--T. H. Huxley

Sincerely,
Teri Edgar
