A successful society is characterized by a rising living standard for its population, increasing investment in factories and basic infrastructure, and the generation of additional surplus, which is invested in generating new discoveries in science and technology.
I love weird science. I learned in an article in ‘National Geographic’ that there are trillions of bacteria in our guts that help us digest food. These are non-human creatures.
To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population.
Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
I don’t wanna learn about more science and math. That’s not why I’m going to college.
It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.
In order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.
Society lives by faith, and develops by science.
When we see the shadow on our images, are we seeing the time 11 minutes ago on Mars? Or are we seeing the time on Mars as observed from Earth now? It’s like time travel problems in science fiction. When is now; when was then?
Iraq was home of the Abbasid Caliphate, a golden age when the Muslim world was at the forefront of math, science and medicine.
The last thing you ever want to do is extend the period of frailty and disability and make people unhealthy for a longer time period. So lifespan extension in and of itself should not be the goal of medicine, nor should it be the goal of public health, nor should it be the goal of aging science.
In science, we must be interested in things, not in persons.
Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.
Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Weapons of mass destruction aren’t pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They’re produced in factories. There’s science and technology involved. They’re not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.
Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none.
Art, like real estate, is half science, half gut. We go to a lot of art fairs. We have two full-time art experts who help me make all the decisions about how to build the corporate and personal collection and what we put in our developments. We don’t let interior designers pick art for us.
It’s a combination of science, maintenance, and general housekeeping. And then, occasionally, robotics activities or a spacewalk you might get to do.
The capacity to be puzzled is the premise of all creation, be it in art or in science.
Economists agree about economics – and that’s a science – and they disagree about economic policy because that’s a value judgment… I’ve had profound disagreements on policy with the famous Milton Friedman. But, on economics, we agree.
I am among those who think that science has great beauty.
The science fiction method is dissection and reconstruction.
Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.
When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves, then truly I seem to be living among the gods.
I actually started off majoring in computer science, but I knew right away I wasn’t going to stay with it. It was because I had this one professor who was the loneliest, saddest man I’ve ever known. He was a programmer, and I knew that I didn’t want to do whatever he did.
I’ve always been on a quest to use science in an artful way.
The function of sociology, as of every science, is to reveal that which is hidden.
A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
I first read science fiction in the old British Chum annual when I was about 12 years old.
It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing.
Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages, or we remain mute.
Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.
Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.
My research career has been devoted to understanding human decision-making and problem-solving processes. The pursuit of this goal has led me into the fields of political science, economics, cognitive psychology, computer science and philosophy of science, among others.
Science is based on the possibility of objectivity, on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility, there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories.
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups – development, testing, marketing, user education.
Modern science is predicated on ‘truths’ verified through accurate observation and measurements of physical world phenomena.
I am critical of modernity giving science and technology a blank check as if it were the fountain of all truth. That is not true. And I think I may have introduced a word which has now caught on quite a bit, scientism. Science is good. It simply reports a discovery.
The ‘science’ for which the United States is respected has nothing to do with the unscientific and baseless theory of evolution.
As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress.
The conflict between religion and science is inherent and (very nearly) zero-sum. The success of science often comes at the expense of religious dogma; the maintenance of religious dogma always comes at the expense of science.
You don’t need a science degree to understand about science. You just need to think about it.
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
We live in a time when science is validating what humans have known throughout the ages: that compassion is not a luxury; it is a necessity for our well-being, resilience, and survival.
Unfortunately the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is driven by politics more than by science.
When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes.
I wasn’t with Joseph, but I believe him. My faith did not come to me through science, and I will not permit so-called science to destroy it.
Music is an intrinsic part of life; therefore, it is important to transport different forms of artistic expression, science, and mathematics into compositions.
Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.
Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so.
In science there are no ‘depths’; there is surface everywhere.
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.
Software Engineering might be science; but that’s not what I do. I’m a hacker, not an engineer.
We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.
There are checks and balances in science. There’s somebody checking the people doing the science, and then there’s somebody who checks the checkers and somebody who checks the checker’s checkers.
Science is about knowing; engineering is about doing.
As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us – aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.
Usually, girls weren’t encouraged to go to college and major in math and science. My high school calculus teacher, Ms. Paz Jensen, made math appealing and motivated me to continue studying it in college.
In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.
