Science

"Magic's just science that we don't understand yet." Arthur C. Clarke

"In both religion and science, some people are dishonest, exploitative, incompetent and exhibit other human failings." Rupert Sheldrake

"Healthy scepticism is the basis of all accurate observation." Arthur Conan Doyle

"Every scientific fulfillment raises new questions; it asks to be surpassed and outdated." Max Weber

"What we must understand is that the industries, processes, and inventions created by modern science can be used either to subjugate or liberate. The choice is up to us." Henry A. Wallace

"Science is prediction, not explanation." Fred Hoyle

"Science books go out of date. We throw the old one away when a newer one comes out, when we have new theories. But we don't throw away our old data; we merely interpret them differently. New theories try to account for old data (and new data) in new ways." Guy Consolmagno

"There can be no scientific dispute with respect to faith, for science and faith exclude one another." Rudolf Virchow

"No doubt science cannot admit of compromises, and can only bring out the complete truth. Hence there must be controversy, and the strife may be, and sometimes must be, sharp. But must it even then be personal? Does it help science to attack the man as well as the statement? On the contrary, has not science the noble privilege of carrying on its controversies without personal quarrels?" Rudolf Virchow

"Science is much closer to myth than a scientific philosophy is prepared to admit. It is one of the many forms of thought that have been developed by man, and not necessarily the best. It is conspicuous, noisy, and impudent, but it is inherently superior only for those who have already decided in favour of a certain ideology, or who have accepted it without ever having examined its advantages and its limits." Paul Feyerabend

"What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning." Werner Karl Heisenberg

"You can experience the thrill of discovery, the incredible, visceral feeling of doing something no one has ever done before, see things no one has ever seen before, know something no one has ever known before. ... Welcome to science, you're gonna like it here." Philip Plait

"I still hear some people say that science takes the wonder out of life. Those people are utterly wrong. Science takes us to the wonder" Philip Plait

"The existing scientific concepts cover always only a very limited part of reality, and the other part that has not yet been understood is infinite." Werner Karl Heisenberg
