Question authority Only by questioning accepted wisdom can we advance our understanding of the world
... Einstein, considered to be one of the sharpest mind mankind has seen so far, created his theory of relativity by questioning the fundamental laws of physics coined by Newton. If he hadnt questioned the universally accepted laws our knowledge of the universe would never have grown to the extent it has grown today. Questioning the accepted wisdom is not a new thing, it has been an age old philosophy and has enabled many discoveries. ... It is said that Necessity is the mother of invention, i would like to add that questioning authority is the father of invention.
