Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts.
Both my parents instilled an interest in science and mathematics.
And yet I would not freely exchange my science for those of my fellow laureates. They are forever confined in their professional discussions to the small numbers of their fellow scientists.
The nineteenth century believed in science but the twentieth century does not.
Every fundamental law has exceptions. But you still need the law or else all you have is observations that don't make sense. And that's not science. That's just taking notes.
The paradigm of physics - with its interplay of data, theory and prediction - is the most powerful in science.
If I say I am not a politician, it is because I did not go to school to do political science. But at the end of the day, I think we are all born politicians. It's practical. All you gotta do is practice.
We should remember that there was once a discipline called natural philosophy. Unfortunately, this discipline seems not to exist today. It has been renamed science, but science of today is in danger of losing much of the natural philosophy aspect.
We have to learn again that science without contact with experiments is an enterprise which is likely to go completely astray into imaginary conjecture.
Even in our day, science suspects beyond the Polar seas, at the very circle of the Arctic Pole, the existence of a sea which never freezes and a continent which is ever green.
Contrary to what professional economists will typically tell you, economics is not a science. All economic theories have underlying political and ethical assumptions, which make it impossible to prove them right or wrong in the way we can with theori...
Unfortunately, a lot of economists wanted to make their subject a science. So the more what you do resembles physics or chemistry, the more credible you become.
Fashion is the science of appearance, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.
Let it be understood, in the first place, that a science fiction story must be an exposition of a scientific theme and it must be also a story.
You cannot feed the hungry on statistics.
New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.
One of the many things that surprised me about 'Wool' is how many of its fans don't consider themselves science fiction readers.
I used to think there was a scientific way to do things. Like a proper way to answer a question or that kind of stuff. It's like, there's not! There's not a method, there's not a science to it.
It is inexcusable for scientists to torture animals; let them make their experiments on journalists and politicians.
Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.
Genetic engineering is a result of science advancement, so I don't think that in itself is bad. If used wisely, genetics can be beneficial, but they can be abused, too.
