More From Imre Lakatos

The self is a relation which relates itself to its own self, or it is that in the relation that the relation relates itself to its own self; the self is not the relation but that the relation relates itself to its own self.
Self Relation Relate
There is scarcely room for doubt that something in the psychological relation of a mother-in-law to a son-in-law breeds hostility between them and makes it hard for them to live together. but the fact that in civilized societies mothers-in-law are such a favourite subject for jokes seems to me to suggest that the emotional relation involved includes sharply contrasted components. i believe, that is, that this relation is in fact an 'ambivalent' one, composed of conflicting affectionate and hostile impulses.
Mother Believe Son
Theory said one thing and the experiment said something different, so that was the stimulus that started me going, that there was something there to be explained, which wasn't understood and to try to see why that experiment gave the answer it did, so it was a big opportunity for a young student starting to have actually an experiment which contradicted the theory, so that's was my chance to understand that.
Opportunity Trying Different
Science seems to be at war with itself.... naive realism leads to physics, and physics, if true, shows naive realism to be false. therefore naive realism, if true, is false; therefore it is false.

America is still a government of the naive, for the naive, and by the naive. he who does not know this, nor relish it, has no inkling of the nature of his country.

The scientific theorist is not to be envied. for nature, or more precisely experiment, is an exorable and not very friendly judge of his work. it never says "yes" to a theory. in the most favorable cases it says "maybe," and in the great majority of cases simply "no." if an experiment agrees with a theory it means for the latter "maybe," and if it does not agree it means "no." probably every theory will some day experience its "no" - most theories, soon after conception.
