What can you see for the first sight, a bunny or a duck?
As the old Chinese saying goes, “What you hear may be false, but what you see is true.” We often easily believe in what we see without doubt, but as a matter of fact, it is not always so convincing.
New research suggests that the story of Franklin's experiment may be fictionion.
Some scientists question the story about the apple that fell on Newton's head.
Personally, we can not be content with what we see or hear. As the old saying goes, “Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.”
