OT

Doing research in physics is quite different than doing research on biological organisms. I work on the latter and some of my best work comes from playing around just to see what happens. It isn't so much about theory but rather perturbing a complex system you are interested in and observing the outcome. If you keep getting the answers you expect and like, you aren't asking the right questions or aren't working on an interesting enough problem.

"It is theory that decides what we can observe." Albert Einstein

Of course, Einstein's view was largely informed by physics.

Biology is/seems far more complex with so many interacting systems that we cannot predict outcomes with the precision of physics. :-)
