Science Quotes
-
New technologies are rapidly giving rise to unprecedented methods of warfare. Innovations that yesterday were science fiction could cause catastrophe tomorrow, including nanotechnologies, combat robots, and laser weapons.
Peter Maurer
-
One merit of mathematics few will deny: it says more in fewer words than any other science. The formula, e^iπ = -1 expressed a world of thought, of truth, of poetry, and of the religious spirit "God eternally geometrizes."
David Eugene Smith
-
My background, I really am a computer hacker. I've studied computer science, I work in computer security. I'm not an actively a hacker, I'm an executive but I understand the mindset of changing a system to get the outcome that you want. It turns out to make the coffee, the problem is actually how the beans get turn into green coffee. That's where most of the problems happen.
Dave Asprey
-
What attracted me to immunology was that the whole thing seemed to revolve around a very simple experiment: take two different antibody molecules and compare their primary sequences. The secret of antibody diversity would emerge from that. Fortunately at the time I was sufficiently ignorant of the subject not to realise how naive I was being.
Cesar Milstein
-
To move forward, what's required is a unified space agenda based on exploration, science, development, commerce, and security.
Buzz Aldrin
-
An engineer's invention causes things to come into existence from ideas, makes world conform to thought; whereas science, by deriving ideas from observation, makes thought conform to existence.
Carl Mitcham
-
One thing they don't tell you about doing experimental physics is that sometimes you must work under adverse conditions... like a state of sheer terror.
William Kenneth Hartmann
-
If the Earth is the size of a pea in New York, then the Sun is a beachball 50m away, Pluto is 4km away, and the next nearest star is in Tokyo. Now shrink Pluto's orbit into a coffee cup; then our Milky Way Galaxy fills North America.
Wayne Hays
-
Research under a paradigm must be a particularly effective way of inducing paradigm change.
Thomas Kuhn
-
And yet in a funny way our lack of success led to our breakthrough; because, since we could not get a cell line off the shelf doing what we wanted, we were forced to construct it. And the original experiment ... developed into a method for the production of hybridomas ... which was of more importance than our original purpose.
Cesar Milstein
-
The poetic beauty of Davy's mind never seems to have left him. To that circumstance I would ascribe the distinguishing feature in his character, and in his discoveries,-a vivid imagination sketching out new tracts in regions unexplored, for the judgement to select those leading to the recesses of abstract truth.
Davies Gilbert
-
Whenever we think we have final answers progress, science, and better understanding ceases.
Eliyahu M. Goldratt
-
There is a time in science when it's too early to attack a problem. The stuff has to bubble a bit more and you have to be able to have the foundation on which to stand.
Nils John Nilsson
-
The 'law of wills and causes,' formulated by Comte, . . . is that when men do not know the natural causes of things, they simply attribute them to wills like their own; thus they obtain a theory which provisionally takes the place of science, and this theory forms a basis for theology.
Andrew Dickson White
-
I may finally call attention to the probability that the association of paternal and maternal chromosomes in pairs and their subsequent separation during the reducing division as indicated above may constitute the physical basis of the Mendelian law of heredity.
Walter Sutton
-
Had Poincaré been as strong in practical science as he was in theoretical he might have made a fourth with the incomparable three, Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss.
Eric Temple Bell
-
Comedy's about things the way they are. It's about the world as it is, not the world as we would like it to be, and science is the same, really.
Ben Miller
-
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules.
Richard Feynman
-
The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when Holmes became a specialist in crime.
Arthur Conan Doyle
-
Statistics is a science which ought to be honourable, the basis of many most important sciences; but it is not to be carried on by steam, this science, any more than others are; a wise head is requisite for carrying it on.
Thomas Carlyle
-
In the hallowed tradition of squishy doughball liberals, I believe that science, reason, kindness, and understanding—maybe a little food—can set the world right.
Ellen Meloy
-
Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.
Will Durant
