Kary Mullis : Play! Experiment! Discover!


Kary Mullis at TED2002  (transcript)
Play!Experiment!Discover!
Summary
I hadn't understood about the speaker completely after reading the story,  thus l read his Wikipedia, the same things were written, after all.

He is a famous American biochemist who had invented PCR ( the polymerase chain reaction) and who had received several prizes. And then I knew that the title: Play! Experiment! Discover! and little bits strange things that he told us showed him really.

The word "Play" shows that he loves to go surfing and he hit upon the idea that he won the prize when he was driving to go surfing with his girlfriend.

"Experiment" is like the play for him. He said in the story that he realized that he had always been like a little scientist because he had done things that are like experiments that had been invented 350 years ago and he thought that he was a boy who had a brain that could think about what science was naturally from birth.

Doing experiments about you think about what, why and how it is, writing down and making observations, it leads to building up a theory of how this stuff works and to discovering all the rules.  

A process is what you think of as science and you can start with some ideas. This is his discovery.

Some strange things are that he has scientific thoughts that are AIDS denial and climate change denial.

He is a man who really enjoys his life and the talk was told over 15 years ago, however, he must still be like a boy who celebrates the curiosity, inspiration, and rigor of good science. He will continue to play, experiment and discover forever.

Science is done for your little reasons and curiosity that are your little idea to get true information and not to be worried by unnecessary things.
Do science!

Words in this story
rigor /noun/ the quality of being extremely thorough, exhaustive, or accurate.
