"Chance favors the prepared mind." Louis Pasteur. "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one". Albert Einstein. As so succinctly stated by these two famous scientists, it is sometimes necessary to step outside the bounds of traditional thinking and look at ideas that many claim to be impossible based on preconceived notions rather than experimental data. This review is dedicated to those open-minded scientists who are willing to evaluate new concepts objectively rather than dismiss new approaches with outdated theories.
“机会青睐有准备的头脑。”——路易斯·巴斯德。“现实只是一种幻觉，尽管它是一种非常持久的幻觉”。——阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦。正如这两位著名科学家简洁地指出的那样，有时有必要跳出传统思维的框架，从那些根据先入为主的观念而非实验数据而被认为是不可能的想法中去寻找灵感。本文旨在为那些愿意客观评估新概念而非用过时理论否定新方法的具有开放思维的科学家而写。
