“ Then Poincare’ illustrated how a fact is discovered. He had described generally how scientists arrive at facts and theories but now he penetrated narrowly into his own personal experience with the mathematical functions that established his early fame. .. For fifteen days, he said, he strove to prove that there couldn’t be any such functions. Every day he seated himself at his work-table, stayed an hour or two, tried a great number of combinations and reached no results. .. Then one evening, contrary to his custom, he drank black coffee and couldn’t sleep. Ideas arose in crowds. He felt them collide until pairs interlocked, so to speak, making a stable combination. .. The next morning he had only to write out the results. A wave of crystallization had taken place. .. .“[Just so we don’t miss the point about how we, including scientists, create hypothesis / facts, the narrator gives us three additional examples of Poincare’ crystallizations supported by two more pages of very interesting and important material on Poincare’ and his conclusions concerning the construction and foundations of science and our reality. The narrator continues, “ Poincaré had been working on a puzzle of his own. His judgment that the scientist selects facts, hypotheses and axioms on the basis of harmony, also left the rough serrated edge of a puzzle incomplete.“ (Cont.next)
