b: reading a mystery novel
What:
"Trying to figure out how planets form is like reading a mystery novel, said Douglas Lin, an astrophysicist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "If you read Agatha Christie for the first time, very often you jump to conclusions based on a limited number of facts. That is sort of the way we are attacking nature." Lin smiles. "Nature is much more imaginative than we are." "
