The Role of Intuition in the Scientific Method Nicholas M Smith

I found this paper by Dr. Smith synchronistically, being a bit obsessed with the conviction that the scientific method is missing its other half; intuition. We still seem to be stuck in the age of Newtonian Materialism but Intuition is gaining. The physics nomenclature was not completely foreign to me given that I am a student of physics and other sciences myself and have a Naprapathic degree in Manual Therapy. I had fun with the bulk of the contents and view it as a hike up a science hill for a student. Your gray cells will get a workout and I recommend it. It is for that reason I put key terms in bold and key ideas in italics. Dr. Smith's biography in this booklet will tell you that he was a heavyweight in his era, 1963, but not as notable as his colleagues Physicists James Van Allen and Allison. All worked on the Manhattan Project that led to the atomic age. His conclusion is fabulous. This is only sixty-seven pages long and worth the mental exercise. Dr. Smith's dates are 1914-2003. I wrote the preface. and added pictures at the end.
