Writing like a scientist is different from writing like an artist or a writer!

Lyrics-

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters Ive written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty Id always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.

cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.

Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what Im going thru
They can understand.

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end,

And I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
Letters Ive written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty Id always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I cant say anymore.

cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts.
Something's telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco.
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.

Talk about the life in Massachusetts.
Speak about the people I have seen.
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts,
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

Creative imagination and inventiveness have always been hallmarks of good science, just as of good writing. Writers must conform to certain recognized truths about human nature, just as scientists must conform to truths about non-human nature.

Both the novelist and the scientist are seeking truth. For the novelist, this truth is related to the world of the mind and the heart, for the scientist the truth in the world of the subject he is investigating or studying.

For instance gravity is equivalent to acceleration, hangs together like a work of art. You’ve all seen paintings or musical compositions where you felt you couldn’t remove one brush stroke or change one note without severely altering the work.

scientists and artists share the mixed blessing and burden of the creative life and the thrill of what we call the creative moment — the “aha” moment when a scientist finally realizes the missing piece in some troubling problem. Scientists and artists do what they do because they love it and because they cannot imagine doing anything else.

The important difference between the two pursuits is that science requires a high level of certainty, while writing or painting requires a degree of abstraction.

Scientists try to name things, but artists try to avoid naming things. Much of the game of science is to pose a problem with enough precision and clarity so that it is guaranteed a solution.

Artists often don’t care what the answer is because definite answers often don’t exist. For many artists, the question is more important than the answer.

Another thing that distinguishes the processes of art and science: Every electron is identical, but every love is different.
