Experiments Quotes
-
The real measure of success is the number of experiments that can be crowded into 24 hours.
Thomas A. Edison -
The only thing worse than the failure of this massive global development experiment, would be its success.
Wolfgang Sachs
-
I was always interested in figuring things out. I'd do experiments, like combining things I found around the house to see what would happen if I put them together.
Alan Alda -
I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something.
Richard Feynman -
I went to the computer and tried to experiment. I introduced a very high level of experiment in very pure mathematics.
Benoit Mandelbrot -
It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.
Isaac Newton -
My purpose is to describe experiments in the science ofsatyagraha and not at all to describe how good I am.
Mahatma Gandhi -
The observations and experiments of science are so wonderful that the truth that they establish can surely be accepted as another manifestation of God. God shows himself by allowing man to establish truth.
Derek Harold Richard Barton
-
Experiment is the sole judge of the validity of any idea.
Richard Feynman -
A fundamental principle of information theory is that you can’t guarantee outcomes… in order for an experiment to yield knowledge, it has to be able to fail. If you have guaranteed experiments, you have zero knowledge
George Gilder -
What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead.
Norbert Wiener -
The experiments of the infants and the monkeys, I think, make it extremely likely that these abilities are inborn.
Elizabeth Spelke -
A lot of inspiration comes from the sounds that we are attracted to when we come across them in our experiments and may lead us into a certain direction because of inherent possibilities we hear in them.
Tim Gane -
He knew now that it was his own will to happiness which must make the next move. But if he was to do so, he realized that he must come to terms with time, that to have time was at once the most magnificent and the most dangerous of experiments. Idleness is fatal only to the mediocre.
Albert Camus
-
Life is but an endless series of experiments.
Mahatma Gandhi -
I thought that I had found something new. But then I convinced myself that the Abbot Gregor Mendel in Brünn, had, during the sixties, not only obtained the same result through extensive experiments with peas, which lasted for many years, as did de Vries and I, but had also given exactly the same explanation, as far as that was possible in 1866.
Carl Correns -
With iPad publishing, you can try new things, experiment, and even launch new magazines without the massive risk normally associated with print publishing. The future is digital, so there will be a digital version of everything we do going forward. There has to be. The cheese has been moved.
Scott Kelby -
Printing demands a humility of mind, for the lack of which many of the fine arts are even now floundering in self-conscious and maudlin experiments.
Beatrice Warde -
Over the last century, physicists have used light quanta, electrons, alpha particles, X-rays, gamma-rays, protons, neutrons and exotic sub-nuclear particles for this purpose [scattering experiments]. Much important information about the target atoms or nuclei or their assemblage has been obtained in this way. In witness of this importance one can point to the unusual concentration of scattering enthusiasts among earlier Nobel Laureate physicists. One could say that physicists just love to perform or interpret scattering experiments.
Clifford Shull -
Success depends on how many experiments you can fit into 24 hours.
Thomas A. Edison
-
Conclusions I. A curve has been found representing the frequency distribution of standard deviations of samples drawn from a normal population. II. A curve has been found representing the frequency distribution of values of the means of such samples, when these values are measured from the mean of the population in terms of the standard deviation of the sample... III. Tables are given by which it can be judged whether a series of experiments, however short, have given a result which conforms to any required standard of accuracy or whether it is necessary to continue the investigation.
William Sealy Gosset -
Just as thought experiments can't show that vitalism is true (or that it is false), they also can't show that dualism is true (or that it is false).
Elliott Sober -
To engage in experiments on heat was always one of my most agreeable employments.
Benjamin Thompson -
I don't place much faith in my intuitions, except as a starting place for designing experiments.
Elizabeth Spelke
