Science - Quotes
Music is not math. It`s science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
The Age of Discovery in science is coming to a close, opening up an Age of Mastery.
The difference between science and religion is the difference between a willingness to dispassionately consider new evidence and new arguments, and a passionate unwillingness to do so.
Debunking bad science should be constant obligation of the science community, even if it takes time away from serious research or seems to be a losing battle.
A theory in science is a logical creation. It reflects the most accurate experimental observations and the best understanding of how the world works. Yet a scientific theory doesn’t necessarily represent absolute truth. It can only capture the state of our knowledge so far. There’s every chance that a new piece of evidence will come to light that disproves the theory, and sends the theoreticians back to the drawing board.
False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for everyone takes a salutory pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path toward errors is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened.
The good thing about science is that it`s true whether or not you believe in it.
The method of science, as stodgy and grumpy as it may seem, is far more important than the findings of science.
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
Science is not a mechanism but a human progress, and not a set of findings but a search for them.
Science is an ongoing process. It never ends. There is no single ultimate truth to be achieved, after which all the scientists can retire. And because this is so, the world is far more interesting, both for the scientists and for the millions of people in every nation who, while not professional scientists, are deeply interested in the methods and findings of science.
Mathematics is not a deductive science - that`s a cliche. When you try to prove a theorem, you don`t just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
