Mushu: [after burning Shan-Yu's hawk] Now that's what I call Mongolian barbecue.
We can safely abandon the doctrine of the eighties, namely that the rich were not working because they had too little money, the poor because they had much.
Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.
For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all.
I have expertise in five different fields which helps me to easily understand the analogy between my scientific problems and those occurring in nature.
The black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time.
Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.
By burning nuclear waste as fuel, we believe we can power the United States cleanly for hundreds of years without ever touching new resources.
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.
Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself.
Disagreements between incompatible beliefs cannot be settled by reasoned argument because reasoned argument is drummed out of those trained in religion from the cradle.
People really, really hate their religion being criticized. It's as though you've said they had an ugly face; they seem to identify personally with it.
Science is not, despite how it is often portrayed, about absolute truths. It is about developing an understanding of the world, making predictions, and then testing these predictions.
True science is never speculative; it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions.
Unfortunately, things are different in climate science because the arguments have become heavily politicised. To say that the dogmas are wrong has become politically incorrect.
People have contemplated the origin and evolution of the universe since before the time of Aristotle. Very recently, the era of speculation has given way to a time of science.
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.
Science is bound, by the everlasting vow of honour, to face fearlessly every problem which can be fairly presented to it.
Science fiction, to me, has not only things that wouldn't happen, but other planets.
Science fiction without the science just becomes, you know, sword and sorcery, basically stories about heroism and not much more.
