When a scientist has worked for years to prove a particular theory and finds out that their work prove something has been in vain, it is difficult to admit that their original assumptions were wrong. Still it is vitally important for such scientists to be completely honest and clear, so that others can learn that that particular area has already been researched and that it is not the right path to follow. When errors creep into the scientific knowledge base, it might take years or generations for the errors to be discovered. It is possible that wrong information might be used to build upon new theories or areas of research. The often touted peer review only seems to work to a degree. If you are ever find yourself writing your findings in any research that you have conducted, always be clear and precisly accurate with what you have discovered, or don't write at all. It is the only way to keep our scientific record accurate. ---Frank X. Didik, February, 2016   CONTACT Frank Didik: . (Brooklyn, New York City, USA) www.DIDIK.com Copyright© 1989 - 2015 by Frank X.
