Looking Over the Yellowstone River Valley (Sept 9, 2006)
…When Viewed From I-94 On A South River Bluff, You Can See At Right, The North River Bluff, And Thus Discern That The Valley Is Getting Narrower.
…The Irrigation Ditch Has Water From The Yellowstone River =>
….But The River Itself Is Hidden In the Trees Along The North River Bluff, In The Distance.

….. “The formation of hypotheses is the most mysterious of all the categories of scientific method. Where they come from, no one knows. A person is sitting somewhere, minding his own business, and suddenly—flash!—he understands something he didn’t understand before. Until it’s tested the hypothesis isn’t truth. For the tests aren’t its source. Its source is somewhere else. ….. "

“ Einstein had said “ :
…. “ Man tries to make for himself in the fashion that suits him best a simplified and intelligible picture of the world. He then tries to some extent to substitute this cosmos of his for the world of experience, and thus to overcome it.
…..He makes this cosmos and its construction the pivot of his emotional life in order to find in this way the peace and serenity which he cannot find in the narrow whirlpool of personal experience . . . .The supreme task . . . is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them . . . .
Intuition? Sympathy? Strange words for the origin of scientific knowledge. "
…. “ A lesser scientist than Einstein might have said, "But scientific knowledge comes from nature. Nature provides the hypotheses." But Einstein understood that nature does not. Nature provides only experimental data.
….A lesser mind might then have said, "Well then, man provides the hypotheses." But Einstein denied this too. "Nobody," he said, "who has really gone into the matter will deny that in practice the world of phenomena uniquely determines the theoretical system, in spite of the fact that there is no theoretical bridge between phenomena and their theoretical principles." (Continued next.) "
SIDE NOTE:
…. In the above TOP ZMM PASSAGE, the Narrator is telling of the important mental happening called “The Flash Of Insight.” This same mental process (and event), is discussed 19 times in ZMM with words => Seed Crystal (3), Crystallization (6), Waves of Crystallization (10).
…Other Instructive Examples of' “Crystallizations” May Be Called “Mental Arrivals” Such As =>
..1) A Flash of Insight,
..2) It Dawned On Me !
..3) Light Bulb (As in a cartoon),
..4) OH !! Now I see it !!
..5) Epiphany
../6) Sudden laughter when hit by the punch-line, In Jokes or Humor, where we instantly see what is funny, with laughter & pleasure!
Please Notice The Following =>
..A) The above 1) thru 6), are in response to our brain’s solving life’s problems coming at us (over ~95 percent of the time), our brain very quickly, yields (into our conscious mind) valid problem solutions (answers), that amazingly are the Best Or Near Best Answers, for the situation at hand.
B) These solutions are effectively 1) Perceptions of “What Is There”, and then 2) Answers, to guide “Real World Action”.
C) These solutions spontaneously “Come To Mind”, with absolutely no conscious awareness of their origin!!
D) These solutions suddenly, Just Appear (or Arrive) in our Consciousness Mind,

I-94, 3 miles West of Custer, MT.
As you will learn The Yellowstone River Valley has little drop in elevation it’s length, in Montana. This makes for a wide, deep, and calm river, which is of course great for river navigation! But it also means the traveler often cannot find a high enough vantage place, from which to see the river, or even guess where it is!
….As a consequence, In this area of the West, the traveler must learn to notice a line of trees, and imagine that that's where a river or a stream is.
