Abstrakt: The article titled "Thought Experiment" explores the concept of the "knowledge argument" through a poetic lens. The argument centers around Mary, a brilliant individual who lives in a black-and-white room and learns about the world solely through books and a monitor. The question posed is whether Mary, upon being released from the room and experiencing the full spectrum of colors and life, learns something new that goes beyond her previous knowledge. The author reflects on their own involvement in Mary's story and expresses pity for her situation. The article is written by Dr. Carol Hart, a retired writer with a background in English Literature and science writing. [Extracted from the article]
