1. Soon Albert Einstein quantified the newly discovered energy with his equation E = MC2, and he later asked rhetorically: If every gram of material contains this tremendous energy, why did it go so long unnoticed?
2. His answer: No one ever observed nuclear energy until Marie Curie systematically discovered radium.
3. Her systematic investigation of radium overturned the existing belief that atoms could not be broken into smaller components containing amazingly vast quantities of hidden energy.
4. Sometimes even sharp minds refrain from applying systematic thinking to problem-solving and decision-making.
5. Marie Curie surprised the scientific world by hypothesizing that what she called radioactivity originated from inside the atom, a property we now call atomic energy.

Although there is growing pressure from some constituencies in the US to expand the use of polygraph testing in forensic and other public contexts, it would be far wiser for law enforcement and security agencies to minimize use of the tests and to find strategies for reducing threats to public safety and national security that rely as little as possible on the polygraphs. Polygraphs were used in post-conviction sex-offender maintenance programmes. As part of their probation programmes in a typical jurisdiction, released sex-offenders were required to submit to periodic polygraph examinations. But the courts have cast a skeptical eye on the relevance and suitability of polygraph test results as legal evidence. They are well justified in their attitude. Generalizing from the available scientific evidence of a particular polygraph examination is fraught with difficulty. The courts should extend their reluctance to rely on the polygraph for many quasi-forensic uses such as the sex-offender management programmes.
1. While, in the US law enforcement and intelligence communities, the polygraph has become a desired method for identifying and pinning down suspects, it leaves a lot to be desired as an evidence gathering tool, not only in such settings but also in quasi-forensic applications such as the sex-offender management programmes.
2. Polygraphs were used in post-conviction sex-offender maintenance programmes in the past. The legal standing of evidence gathered thereby has always, however, been suspect.
3. The use of polygraph testing to generate legal evidence has proved to be problematic in a variety of settings and is recognized as such by the U.S. courts. Though used earlier in post-conviction sex-offender maintenance programmes, the polygraph should not be relied on for such purported forensic applications.
4. In the US law enforcement and intelligence communities, the polygraph has become the most desired method for identifying perpetrators when direct evidence is lacking. But in quasi-forensic applications such as the sex-offender management programmes, it leaves a lot to be desired.
5. Notwithstanding the faith of its proponents, US courts have been doubtful about the legal acceptability of evidence gathered through polygraph testing, a reason being the inadequacy of the scientific evidence from such a test. Courts should discount, overall, the use of such evidence, while security agencies would do well to minimise the use of such tests in
pursuit of their objectives.

We all live in a prison house of self. We naturally see the world from our own perspective and see our own point of view as obvious and, if we are not careful, as the only possible one. I have never heard anyone say: “Yes, you only see things from my point of view. Why don’t you consider your own for a change?” The more our culture presumes its own perspective, the more our academic disciplines presume their own rectitude, and the more professors restrict students to their own way of looking at things, the less students will be able to escape from habitual, self-centered, self-reinforcing judgments. We grow wiser, and we understand ourselves better, if we can put ourselves in the position of those who think differently. Literature, by teaching us to
imagine the other’s perspective, teaches the habits of mind that prevent the opposition of diverse opinion. Great literature allows one to think and feel from within how other cultures think and feel.
1. Everyone has absolute confidence in the accuracy of their own perspective, sometimes convinced that all others are erroneous. Allowing such an attitude to hold sway in our cultures, especially in academic pedagogy, would result in its perpetuation. It is necessary to be able to
understand and accept the way others see things, and literature, with its presentation of diverse views and cultural thinking, would help in such an endeavour.
2. We are as deeply convinced of the obvious correctness of our perceptions as others are of theirs. The more our literature allows diversity of opinion, the it will help people understand other cultures.
3. We are as deeply convinced of the obvious correctness of our perceptions as others are of theirs. The problem of self exists in cultures and academic disciplines because we do not think beyond our own perspective and ignore the opinions of others. Literature helps us to understand other cultures by providing us with perspective other than our own.
4. The greater the tendency to consider ourselves correct, the more the study of literature matters. Literature helps us empathize with other cultures and helps us escape from the prison house of self-centered, self reinforcing judgments.
5. Literature is the perfect way to understand not only another's perspective but also to explore the similarities and differences between the viewpoints of different persons.
