Quote DB :: Science Search in this category Nature (14) Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "Science is not about building a body of known 'facts'. It is a method for asking awkward questions and subjecting them to a reality-check, thus avoiding the human tendency to believe whatever makes us feel good." Terry Pratchett "Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them." Charles Darwin "Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it." Richard P. Feynman "All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it." Richard P. Feynman "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" Albert Einstein "Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another." Plato "No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong." Albert Einstein "To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature. If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in." Richard P. Feynman "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' (I found it!) but 'That's funny...'" Isaac Asimov "People like to imagine that because all our mechanical equipment moves so much faster, that we are thinking faster, too." Christopher Morley "What is now proved was once only imagined." William Blake "If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of his creation it would appear that God has a special fondness for stars and beetles." J.B.S. Haldane "It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." Charles Darwin "Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe." Galileo Galilei "The more I study science, the more I believe in God." Albert Einstein "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity." Albert Einstein "Man's conquest of Nature turns out, in the moment of its consummation, to be Nature's conquest of Man." C.S. Lewis "Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose." J.B.S. Haldane "If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we would be so simple we couldn't." Lyall Watson "Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?"
