evidence: Einstein’s had a lot of witty and profound sayings, but "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result" is not one of them. And yet, these words had often been misattributed to him. It is not exactly clear who came up with the phrase, but it is a fact that a lot of people got convinced that originated behind the famous mustache of Einstein. [...] Same idea. Different result. This is counterintuitive AF. It was surprising after the fact, but even harder to imagine a priori. [...] Unscientific. Because science is all about reproducibility. The definition of science is doing the same thing over and over and knowing that you’ll get the same result. You can prove scientifically that if you drop an apple, in the absence of interference from other forces, it will fall down. It would be incredibly stupid and yes… insane to believe that the apple may not fall down. It will be non-scientific, which means that it is not the way the universe we live in works.
