Speculation: a Worthy Occupation

The quality of historical speculation is valuable

        Reality is an important goal and orientation. It can happen that the farther off the the way toward reality we stray the closer to madness we get. We need good evidence. We can learn to better judge the quality of evidence. The better we understand the evidence the greater the value of our speculation. 1811 to 1812 a great comet witnessed in the southeast US. In 1662 a great comet was witnessed from Cartagena, Colombia and around much of the world.
