I am interested to know where and how imagination and creativity takes its place in the scientific process. We often hear about how reason and rationity are important back- bones to the scientific process but I'm wondering how much of what is something usually attributed to art is also very important to the sciences. I'm interested in any views from scientists in any area.

So,my Honors teacher is going to make us write two essays answering these following questions.Why is history important? Why should we study history?
I'm not going to write my whole essay just the introduction,can you please tell me if i should add anything or suggestions.
Why is history important?
History is important for various reasons.One being that history contains information from the past.If we do not know our past causes and effects we're unable to know how everything today is what it is,and History provides us with that vivid information.History is not only important but interesting in ways that it shows us changes over time.For example many years ago,the houses we now live in we're most likely now located where they are now.History changes over time,perhaps not as fast but it sure changes and drastically,it does.For a fact due to scientific researches we know that there were several creatures back then,that no longer exist such as dinosaurs.

I'm referring to paper that can take fountain pen ink or quill ink or calligraphic ink without bleeding through to the other side of the page, or blotching.

I've been bored this summer, so I started reading books that have been recommended to me, some I like, some, not so much. But is there a site that lets you rate books you've read, then gives you recommendations on other books you might enjoy, kind of like the netflix rating system?

Statues of historic military men on horses, why are some of the horses standing on all four feet and others have one or two feet off of the ground. Does it have something to do with how the person died, perhaps in battle or a natural death?

I've deicded to audition for my school's play. I can't remember what it's called. But it doesn't matter that much with the question I'm asking. My drama teacher said we could either do a cold audition, or we could come with a monologue ready. I want to do the monologue because she said it helps her with a better idea of who you could be. Does anyone know any good audition monologues about a minute or less in length???

You are getting very sleeeeepy
dreamy, sleeeeepy, fall asleepy.....
very, very droopy eyed
feeling tired.

Can't keep eyes open,
droopy lids.
A yawn, a bed, enough said,
sleepy, sssleeepy, shhsleeepy.

I know in some plays (Hesh, Cloud 9,etc.) the children parts are sometimes played by adults. Is this the case in this play? There is a great monologue Mitchell does about writing a musical version of Death of a Salesman, but I have never seen it produced and am not sure if the part is played by an actual child. Thanks!

My friend is furious. Her first assignment in her literature class is to read and comment on a work of what she calls "hard porn" in translation. Can you give me the title of the work summarized below? Do you think this is appropriate to read in a university that costs over $50,000/year in tuition?

A young, wealthy, and very macho guy is proceeding slowly down a country road. Behind him a middle-aged guy is screaming at him to get out of the way. The 1st guy pulls out a weapon, kills the older guy, then grabs the woman sitting next to him, throws her on the BODY of her dead husband and rapes her! The woman gives birth to a daughter 9 months later. After a series of coincidences, the guy goes crazy and blinds himself. He then takes off with his daughter to another city, where he lives until old age, when he dies in an earthquake.

I can scarcely wait to hear your opinion.

It's a rhetorical question, so I'm looking for a purposeful (even metaphorical) answer -- but not wisecracks. If you can't think of something thought-provoking to say, please don't answer.

Don McLean - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night):

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...
