    a scientist just needs some enthusiasm...thats all


    and even that enthusiasm is sometimes not required!

    Yeah, marx pretty much sums it up. But remember these things:
    1) Science can only disprove! Science disproves all impossible answers leaving the last answer, irrelevant to how improbable, to be the correct one.
    2) Nothing is impossible so long as you can imagine it.

    How to be a real scientist (or at least think like one):

    1: Always question things, including accepted doctrine.

    2: Realise there are no timeless 'facts'; only models of the universe which correspond to a greater or lesser degree with reality.

    3: What is not impossible is compulsory.

    I guess if you understand the processes that are needed to conduct experiments properly then you would at least be something of a scientist.

    To be a scientist you would have to follow scientific method, to be employed as a scientist would be very difficult without a degree.

    Something tells me that Rahul, or whatever the guys name is does not take this topic seriously. Is there need to study from books? No, not if you want to want to remain ignorant and you think you can independently come up with the last three to four hundred years of scientific theory on your own. Good luck. Yeah, all a scientist needs is enthusiasm and good intentions. Intelligence is not a factor in the least.
