Science

"Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none." Thomas Kuhn

"Science requires a society because even people who are trying to be good thinkers love their own thoughts and theories - much of the debugging has to be done by others." Alan Kay

"With the insights of modern physics, natural science has reached a point where it must abandon the idea that it could explain everything." Hans-Peter Dürr

"As such, science stumbles upon an unknowable and mysterious essence that escapes logical explanation and which can be described only in the language of poetry and metaphor." Mattias Desmet

"Because television doesn't offer the kind of budget that a movie offers, you've got to be a little more careful where you spend the money to put the fiction in science." Steven Spielberg

"Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true." Steven Spielberg

"There are questions to which people want answers but cannot find them. It is a misconception to think that these questions will disappear as science advances." Hans-Georg Gadamer

"What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean." Isaac Newton

"Truth is of no practical value to mankind save as it affects terrestrial phenomena, hence the discoveries of science should be concealed or glossed over wherever they conflict with orthodoxy." H. P. Lovecraft

"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." Rupert Sheldrake

"Science fiction like Star Trek is not only good fun but it also serves a serious purpose, that of expanding the human imagination." Stephen Hawking

"Belief begins where science leaves off and ends where science begins." Rudolf Virchow

"The task of science is to stake out the limits of the knowable, and to center consciousness within them." Rudolf Virchow

"Welcome to science. You’re gonna like it here." Philip Plait
