Is Ignorance Bliss?

I am not a medical doctor, not even a biologist. I did read a little about biology in the late sixties and early seventies; so when I started to read Gilbert N. Ling claims that his revolutionary theory of cell physiology was not a Na Pump, theory; it didn't even register in my mind: I didn't realize that I was entering into, really revolutionary territory. So I kept going, Now I am remembering a few of the things I studied then, and I think I would've not even considered Dr. Ling's work, if I had remembered earlier.

Anyway, now I have to find out, how much of an oddball Dr. Ling is. It helped also to find out that he had consulted with his friend C.N. Yang. I am an admirer of Yang and Lee, and their revolutionary proposal in the late fifties that weak interactions do not respect mirror symmetry.

I'll keep on reading.
