You have no idea how aggravating it can be to realize that you just went to a lot of trouble to post links in THE WRONG JOURNAL!!

 Here it is again.

Thanks to mercuryblue for reminding me of an old favorite short story, and providing a link.  Here it is, along with two others.  All three are about rethinking what you think you know.

How it Happened by Issac Asimov

The Immortal Bard by Issac Asimov

The Nine Billion Names of God By Arthur C. Clarke

I have no idea if these are posted legally or not.  If they can be found, each of these short stories is worth having to buy a whole book for.

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’, but ‘That’s funny …’
