In science there is only physics; all the rest is stamp collecting.
I've always been interested in medicine and was pleased when my brother became a doctor. But after thinking seriously about that field, I realized that what intrigued me was not the science, not the chemistry or biology of medicine, but the narrative...
I never, as a reader, have been particularly interested in dystopian literature or science fiction or, in fact, fantasy.
Whatever science and philosophy may do for mankind, the world can never outgrow its need of the simplicity that is in Christ.
Politicians often misuse science for political ends and to pursue their own agenda.
I've always loved science, as far back as I can remember. I was very, very curious about how everything worked: the world, the physical universe, chemistry, law. So it was only natural to be curious about how our mind works.
The artist does not illustrate science (but) he frequently responds to the same interests that a scientist does.
However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson; nothing is impossible.
I did an O-level in domestic science when I was at school, but on the day of the practical exam, it was a cookery nightmare.
I have always loved science fiction. One of my favorite shows is 'Star Trek.' I like the trips, where it drops my mind off, because they give you a premise and all of a sudden, you say, 'Oh!' and I'm fascinated by it.
I did, although I didn't read from page 1 to page 187 but I read chunks of it. I did a little bit of science when I was in the university so I was able to understand the graphs and pie charts and stuff like that. It was extremely dry.
My father was a professor of political science and also a young politician fighting for democracy in Kenya, and when things got ugly, he went into political exile in Mexico. Then I moved back to Kenya shortly after I turned one, and I grew up in Keny...

Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly.
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
The scientist is also a composer... You could think of science as discovering one particular thing - a supernova or whatever. You could also think of it as discovering this whole new way of seeing the world.
There is real confusion about what it means to be right and wrong - the difference between what spiritual beliefs are and what science is.
What I do is very theoretical. It won't necessarily have implications for anything anyone is doing tomorrow, yet you know that there's a sense of progress in science, and as we understand more, it just turns out that, somehow, the world evolves with ...
Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.
I really do think that science has an internal structure, and it makes sense, and we can test it.
