Let's experiment, explore the unknowns and prepare to be surprised by unexpected results and to be open to evaluate all the possible explanations  -  Or we will possibly miss even our own maybe fortuitous discoveries and inventions.
Perhaps the only thing better for a  scientist than finding the crucial  piece of a puzzle that completes a picture  is finding a piece that  doesn't fit at all, and tells us that there is a whole  new part of the  puzzle that we haven't even imagined yet and the scene in the  puzzle is  bigger, richer than we ever thought.
From Saul Perlmutter's speech at the Nobel Banquet, 10 December 2011
