I wonder what Sokal et al. would have to say to the fact that Max Planck is
said to have conceived of his theorem while reading Kierkegaard on the Leap
of Faith, according to Max Jammer, the historian of science?

For that matter, Arthur Koestler notes several instances of great scientists
developing theories after dreams. On a slightly different note, how account
for Kepler's discoveries? He believed in and lived by astrology, according
to most accounts.
