Intuition: Second Intuition:
“Seeking some commonality of subjective experiences and objective initiatives in respect to historically important scientific events, Professor Northrup of Yale University carefully perused the letters and diaries of five great scientists as well as the letters and diaries of those same scientists’ families as written just before, during and shortly after they made their epochal discoveries. Commonalities were found. All of them indicated that factor number one in their historical success was their intuition which suddenly disclosed the unique principle of their discovery. Second most important factor in their successful capture of the new knowledge was their second intuition which-- 45 seconds after the first disclosure intuition-- told them what to do about their realization of the discovery. After that any methodical procedure was adequate.”
