A scientist, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a more restricted sense, a scientist is an individual who uses the scientific method. The person may be an expert in one or more areas of science. This article focuses on the more restricted use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms.
Philosophy can be seen as a distinct activity, which is aimed towards a more comprehensive understanding of intangible aspects of reality and experience that cannot be physically measured.
Scientists are also distinct from engineers, those who develop devices that serve practical purposes. When science is done with a goal toward practical utility, it is called applied science (short of the creation of new devices that fall into the realm of engineering). When science is done with an inclusion of intangible aspects of reality it is called natural philosophy.
Social roles that partly correspond with the modern scientist can be identified going back at least until 17th century natural philosophy, but the term scientist is much more recent. Until the late 19th or early 20th century, those who pursued science were called "natural philosophers" or "men of science".
Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana.

Plot
Jennings is the best reverse-engineer in the business. He is hired by clients to take apart other companies technologies and find out how they work. He is hired to do a special job, against the advice of some of his associates. When the job is completed, all memory of what he has been working on is erased from his mind. That's when his problem really start to begin. He is hunted for something he has no recollection of doing and has only a little time to work it out. He has sent himself 19 seemingly unconnected objects, before his memory was wiped, to allow him to put the puzzle together and discover just what has gone on and what he has done. But the authorities are after him and time is very quickly running out.

Remember the future.
The future depends on a past he was paid to forget.
Jimmy Rethrick: I am the future, Mike!
Maya: [pretending to be Rachel] You can't remember me.
Michael Jennings: If you love me, if you care about me, go. Have a good life. Remember me.
Jimmy Rethrick: Michael Jennings died exactly three minutes after 3. And the government was left with no case. Closed its case with Allcom. So you see, it's impossible that he escaped unless you've changed something.::Wolfe: I didn't.::Jimmy Rethrick: What were you doing, exactly?::Wolfe: I was eating pie.
[Michael begins to suspect that the woman with him isn't really Rachel]::Michael Jennings: What's my favorite baseball team?::Maya: What?::Michael Jennings: What's my favorite baseball team?::[Maya pulls out a gun]::Maya: Who cares?::[Rachel appears behind Maya and knocks her out]::Rachel Porter: That would be the Red Sox?
[after seeing Michael's future demise on the machine]::Jimmy Rethrick: Looks like Michael's got a date on the catwalks. Let's make sure he makes it.
[after having his three-year memory erased]::Michael Jennings: What happened?
Jimmy Rethrick: Michael, you're done!
James Rethrick: Michael Jennings is not a super agent, he's an engineer. Yet, somehow he managed to escape from a double-locked room. How? Was it fate? No. Fate was on our side. That means someone who knew, changed something.
Shorty: Say one word about this hat, and I'm outta here.

I am dominating, biochemical source
To effect scientific, beats and attitudes
Through my hemispheres, packs and galaxies
Beyond and out of range, far is sent to me
Cause to the left I am blinkin, mega and hype
While absorbing predators, as a scientist
Skilled with medical degrees I combinate
Years on Ampex, experience Ced
Indeed, bioforce parallel MPC
was in-gen-ulity, and ability
I'm the wizard Ced Gee, I'm a scientist!
[Ced Gee]
To DELIVER, such a powerful mic
I'll excite, and I'll also ignite
the crowd to respond to my total formulation
Particular words, designated for a path
that you can sell, a new format combined
And I won't rhyme, but instead I'll refine
the proper use of speech, as I teach
Things physical, change must be rearranged
Passing data of a mode, choosing a code
Kick back the time, then I'll explode
into ATOMS, and the mixture I'll build
Just hammering a mouse, a third, would be evil
to the science, formed expressed by Ced Gee
I'm a scientist!
[Ced Gee]
NOW I'm pickin up speed at a maximum pace
And all nucleus attached, must metriculate
With me the scientist, the man to compel
Against competitors, equal to excel
To a nuclear wave, events and above
all meters, contain precise, the same extended
Opposite to illusion is BASS
There be no confusion
To set my megameters, laboratory stories
I'm gain more glories in all, sorts of categories
To be raised up, a bit
Ced Gee, as an Ultramagnetic, SCIENTIST!

gonna be a storm tonight
Gonna be a wild wild storm
Gonna be firecracker lightning
Running out into the garden
Pull the washing in
The baby screams
The seagulls sing
Gonna be a storm tonight
Gonna be hard to leave
Gonna be hard to get away
The rain keeps gushing down
The seaside town
You lie on the bed
Barometer in hand
Say the weather’s changing
Better make some plans
Oh my scientist
My scientist
in the eye of the storm
we make plans all night long
if not Eden, then what?
if no Eden then the floods will carry us away
if not Eden no matter what the adverts say
if not Eden
someday
Eden some day
I'm thinking there is a nother way
gonna get self sufficient
gonna strip right back down
gonna grow our own food
without the wrappin' or the crappin'
gonna get back to the land
gonna have free range children
gonna let them be what they will be
gonna build somewhere to put your telescope
tell me do you think there is anybody out there?
And have they seen us?
you say you don't know but you can show me Venus
oh my scientist
my beautiful scientist
in the eye of the storm
we make plans all night long
cause if not Eden, then what?
if not Eden, its just a window display
plastic Eden, if the corporations have their way
if not Eden then the floods will clear us all away
if not Eden
someday
so I'm for Eden
someday
yeah I'm for Eden
someday
there's gonna be a storm tonight
Come up to meet you, Tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, Tell you I need you
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, Coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, Come back and hold me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, Chasing tails
Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
The scientist walked into a room
He knows the floor was cleaned earlier that day
With the same bucket of water he threw upon his own car
The vehicle that got him to and from his work
He understood all of this.
The scientist then walked into his garage
Seeing a painting of the sky
Then a trail of ants heading for the blackcurrant juice
Spilt earlier that day
He took a cloth, mopped it up and they all went away
He understood what he thought he should to satisfy his
mind
He built a wall around his mind, his feelings he can't
hide
He won't believe what he can't see
Always waiting for fact to speak
Woooaaoo ooo ooo aaa oooh
He cannot leave this wall of sleep
Is what you see real?
When you just can't explain?
You say your mind's playing tricks now
In your touch can you feel within?
Now, how do you explain the burn from sin?
A big bang, you say, a birth, but what was there
before this fragile earth?
You understand the gland and gland, making love
and holidays in sald
Talking to trees, finding keys
A love within and out and in an out
A man with the answer, plaster the wax,
gather the facts, as the dogs lose cats
A war of wings, an engile flings feathers from
the high sky demon
A will to leave is a while away
A will to leave is a while away
An open mind is in a different play
An open mind is in a different play
An open mind is in a different play
An open mind is in a different play
The scientist sits on his couch, his television
screaming "War! War! War!"
Shows people crying far away, untrusting eyesthat
spread decay
Oh, the tears dry up once the button is pushed
Famine comes from lack of food
He understood all of this.
He understood what he thought he should to satisfy his
mind
He built a wall around his mind, his feelings he can't
hide
He won't believe what he can't see
Always waiting for fact to speak
Woooaaoo ooo ooo aaa oooh
He cannot leave this wall of sleep [x2]
