Science then, is the a unique "Conevsational Space" to learn, know and discover the facts of reality.

Those who are not afraid to lead by trial and error, as Max Born suggests, are those who the rest follow regardless of the validity of the path uncovered. Thus, we should encourage our children to try and fail, try and succeed, and try to follow the most reasonable path. Let's face it, telling a child to be a leader does not make them a leader. Teaching a child how to lead increases their chances of following in the same footsteps. However, I truly believe, that one must be born with a penchant for exploring the unknown and seeking their own way to explain the mysteries of our world.
