The Art of the Soluble

In a sense science is as Peter Metowar said the art of the soluble you need to work on a project that you can make some progress on. All this something to be said for also working on kind of seemingly impossible one where maybe you'll only reap the fruits after a few years but it will be very tasty fruit. Or I mean another strategy me as a lazy person I keep that insoluble project in mind just keep going back to it and say like oh well has some technology come up that would now make this easier suddenly. So there are many things that could be interesting for someone to do but some of them I have to say it's not for me unfortunately.
