   Now I'm going to discuss how we would look for a new law.   
   In general, we look for a new law by the following process. First we   
   guess it. Well don't laugh that's really true. Then we compute the   
   consequences of the guess to see, if this law that we guessed is right,   
   what it would imply, and then we compare those computational results to   
   nature (to experiment or experience). That is we compare it directly   
   with observation to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment,   
   it's wrong.   
   In that simple statement is the key to science.   
   It doesn't make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It doesn't   
   make any difference how smart you are who made the guess, or what your   
   name is. If it disagrees with experiment it's wrong, that's all.
