"Love how the great authors do seamless flashbacks several times mid-story. Being able to set the scene with history from a character's past which needs to Also be told,... makes for mental entertainment for the reader who also loves to bank memories of a book's characters like memories they make of their own life (or recalling them like memory)." — Aug 10, 2024 08:55PM

But science is one of the very few human activities — perhaps the only one — in which errors are systematically criticized and fairly often, in time, corrected.
