translation.en: I find this a particularly apt description of science and how science works -- bumbling around in a dark room, bumping into things, trying to figure out what shape this might be, what that might be, there are reports of a cat somewhere around, they may not be reliable, they may be, and so forth and so on.
translation.zh: 我认为用这句话来描述科学 和科研方法特别恰当。 在暗室里胡乱摸索，磕磕碰碰， 想弄清楚不同东西的形状， 猜想这些东西是什么。 有报道说有只猫在暗室的某处了， 也许这个报道不可靠，也许可靠。 等等，等等。
