Intuition: Second Intuition:
“A little over a decade ago John Howard Northrop [sic] at Yale made a contribution of high order when he studied carefully the writings of a half dozen great scientists. He picked scientists who have made magnificent contributions, and he studied their writings, diaries, personal accounts, and personal letters. He read letters and diaries of families, all the records produced at the time the scientists were about to make their great discoveries but before they made those discoveries or knew they were going to make them. … Northrop was interested in finding some commonality about what brought about the great discoveries of those individuals. … and he found that the number one item leading to their success was their intuition. … this extraordinary realization of the relationship operating in the universe. …”
"The second most important item in relation to their discovery and its conversion to the advantage of humanity was their second intuition. The second intuition-- what they ought to do about the discovery-- came within seconds after the first. Time and time again scientists find retrospectively that they had the very same vision and awareness as another scientist who was accredited with the discovery, but they did not do any thing about it. "
