Jim Davila notes that, "Roger Penrose divides scientific theories into
three categories: SUPERB (e.g. General Relativity), USEFUL (e.g. the big
bang) and TENTATIVE (e.g. any current theory of consciousness). SUPERB
theories explain almost all available data with a comprehensiveness and
elegance that show that they are almost certainly correct. USEFUL ones
explain a lot, but still have some holes in them. TENTATIVE ones, at
best, seem to be groping in the right direction."

Thank you Jim. A thinker after my own heart. Please tell us more about the
sort of work you do.
