Can you boil that down to it?

Yeah, so cooperative means that it's done together.

Much of science is done in the mind and not so much in the laboratory, like you watch a TV show or anything like that.

It's cooperative.

There's a lot of people working together, often under other scientists.

So it's not just one person coming up with an idea.

Now, there are occasions where that happens, where someone kind of goes off in left field and comes up with brand new ideas.

Can you expand on that?
