Thermodynamic Innovations - New Methods from Old Ideas
Previous innovations in thermodynamic areas suggest that the greatest progress is made when attention is paid to direct observation of physical behavior without suppression by various political, religious or other inside or outside groups. Also these innovations are made by a study of these measured phenomena in which the facts are considered and reconciled in the light of our own understanding. Often a new innovation is based on a spark of intuitive understanding combined with a lot of hard work necessary to reconcile the measured facts with the idea. Nevertheless, an intuitive understanding seems to be necessary before the innovation can be made.
