 As the sunset of the PEAR laboratory program was approaching, we were requested by the Editor of the Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE) to prepare a comprehensive review article that would present the romance of this scholarly enterprise in all of its entwined scientific, philosophical, technical, political, economic, and cultural dimensions. This required more than a year to compose, but eventually reached the following publication. It is reproduced here in full because of its ubiquitous relevance to the thesis of this issue of EXPLORE, and because it and the previous “Margins” item stand as the literary bookends on all of the other technical and philosophical material to be presented in this anthology.
