Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.
I'm a science guy. I'm a geek. I love geology and botany and marine science. I thought maybe I'd be a professional guide, or maybe even a park ranger, working for the Department of Fish and Game.
For me, the discovery of aquaporins was like a gift after 25 years in basic science.
Fashion is more about feel than science.
I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.
The function of sociology, as of every science, is to reveal that which is hidden.
The mineral world is a much more supple and mobile world than could be imagined by the science of the ancients. Vaguely analogous to the metamorphoses of living creatures, there occurs in the most solid rocks, as we now know, perpetual transformation of a mineral species.
From a purely positivist point of view, man is the most mysterious and disconcerting of all the objects met with by science.
We must accept what science tells us, that man was born from the earth. But, more logical than the scientists who lecture us, we must carry this lesson to its conclusion: that is to say, accept that man was born entirely from the world - not only his flesh and bones but his incredible power of thought.
Religion and science are the two conjugated faces or phases of one and the same complete act of knowledge - the only one which can embrace the past and future of evolution and so contemplate, measure and fulfil them.
I am a little too absorbed by science to be able to philosophise much; but the more I look into myself, the more I find myself possessed by the conviction that it is only the science of Christ running through all things, that is to say true mystical science, that really matters. I let myself get caught up in the game when I geologise.
Science is nothing but perception.
The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature.
Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters.
Though I believe in God, I don't believe in religion for everybody. Some people who are a little weak and don't want to shoulder any responsibility need Catholicism. For people at the other extreme, there is Christian Science... I think a powerful conscience is worth all the religions put together.
To mistrust science and deny the validity of scientific method is to resign your job as a human. You'd better go look for work as a plant or wild animal.
At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.
No one would want to read a book in which I explain the science of cloning because it would be very dull and it would also make no sense.
Science does not know its debt to imagination.
Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science.
Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss.
Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified.
I'm such a stereotypical female learner in that I love social studies and love literature, and I always struggled with math and science.
Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
Touch a scientist and you touch a child.
The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible.
The 'science' for which the United States is respected has nothing to do with the unscientific and baseless theory of evolution.
Before a war military science seems a real science, like astronomy; but after a war it seems more like astrology.
I think horror or science fiction is another way of telling a modern myth - it's like Ancient Greece; it's like kids couldn't wait for the next 'Orpheus' story, the next 'Jason and the Argonauts.'
Blitzscaling is what you do when you need to grow really, really quickly. It's the science and art of rapidly building out a company to serve a large and usually global market, with the goal of becoming the first mover at scale. This is high-impact entrepreneurship.
Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems.
Darwin gives courage to the rest of science that we shall end up understanding literally everything, springing from almost nothing - a thought extremely hard to comprehend and believe.
What's going to happen when I die? I may be buried, or I may be cremated, I may give my body to science. I haven't decided yet.
Science, as illustrated by the printing press, the telegraph, the railway, is a double-edged sword. At the same moment that it puts an enormous power in the hands of the good man, it also offers an equal advantage to the evil disposed.
Modern science, then, so far from being an enemy of romance, is seen on every hand to be its sympathetic and resourceful friend, its swift and irresistible helper in its serious need, and an indulgent minister to its lighter fancies.
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
Is science of any value? I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value.
There is no complete theory of anything.
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.
The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.
One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen.
I'm a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student, I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay's geosynclinal cycle, which is a bunch of crap.
Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.
Science began as one of the noblest expressions of man's reason. It will continue to serve humanity so long as it never forgets that human beings remain the heart of its purpose.
There is abundant science out there that connects mercury exposure in vaccines to not only autism, but to ASD, to SIDS, to ADD, ADHD, language tics - which is like Tourette Syndrome - OCD, asthma, food allergies, and diabetes.
I'm comfortable reading science and dissecting it and discerning the difference between junk science and real science.
If we wish to make a new world we have the material ready. The first one, too, was made out of chaos.
Science is not a collection of facts; it is a process of discovery.
