Some parts of the stories are true, and some are not, because they don’t follow the common sense. However, the scientists’ spirit of scientific exploration is what mostly matters.Personally, we can not be content with what we see or hear. As the old saying goes, “Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.” What we see or hear is true or false remains to be seen in the future. Please don’t hesitate to taste what you see or hear.
