It is for this reason that the critical thinking of the physicist cannot possibly be restricted to the examination of concepts from his own specific field. He cannot proceed without considering critically a much more difficult problem, the problem of analyzing the nature of everyday thinking." -- Albert Einstein (1936) in "Physics and Reality" REFERENCES [All URL's accessed on 24 March 2011 and shortened by <http://bit.ly/>.] Einstein, A. 1936.
