So I wrote what I hoped would be science fiction, I was not at all sure if what I wrote would be acceptable even. But I don't say that I consciously wrote with humour. Humour is a part of you that comes out.
There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.
I think you can get away with being a bit more political in science fiction.
I'm talking about science on the leading edge, where it's not clear which way things are going be cause we don't know, and I'm dealing with areas which we don't know about.
I went through the standard scientific atheist phase when I was about 14. I bought into that package deal of science equals atheism.
The simplest and cheapest of all reforms within institutional science is to switch from the passive to the active voice in writing about science.
Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical.
I don't know anything about science.
There is no complete theory of anything.
Ethics is not routinely taught to science students except in medicine, and I think it should be.
I'm a traditional Jew with an orthodox background, and it informs much of my approach to science. Of course I think it's very important that if you have those sorts of backgrounds you don't impose them on other people as a clinician, of course.
Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well.
I've always wanted to write science fiction. It was one of my first loves, and I knew if I became a writer someday I'd probably write something in the science fiction vein, but I hesitated for a long while because it's such well-trod ground.
I majored in political science, and my concentration was U.S. involvement in Latin America in the 20th century.
Nevertheless, as is a frequent occurrence in science, a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.
I find the attempt to find things out, which scientists are possessed by, to be as human as breathing, or feeding, or sex. And so the science has to be in the novels as science and not just as metaphors.
The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.
In 1995, I founded The Molecular Sciences Institute with a gift from the Philip Morris Company where I hoped that we could create an environment where young people could pursue science in an atmosphere of harmonious purpose and high intellectual chal...
I'm a big believer that science is part of a larger cultural thing. Science is not all by itself.
I am aware of the usefulness of science to society and of the benefits society derives from it.
Indeed, I would feel that an appreciation of the arts in a conscious, disciplined way might help one to do science better.
