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.
I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people.
Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest.
If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.
I have found far greater enthusiasm for science in America than here in Britain. There is more enthusiasm for everything in America.
I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe.
Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.
Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.
God may exist, but science can explain the universe without the need for a creator.
In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within.
Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.
Dream research is a wonderful field. All you do is sleep for a living.
Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.
Northeastern and most coastal states will vote for the candidate who is more closely aligned with international cooperation and engagement, secularism and science, gun control, individual freedom in culture and sexuality, and a greater role for the government in protecting the environment and ensuring economic equality.
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.
When I die, I'm leaving my body to science fiction.
When I die, I'm gonna leave my body to science fiction.
It was my dream to come to Oxford and study political science.
Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.
In my 10th exams, I stood first with 80 percent but instead of picking science for my further studies, I chose arts... just so that I could continue to dance.
Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.
People who believe in science have a hard time believing in ghosts and the supernatural.
I'm not a scientist. What I find interesting about my work is how, as a designer, I sit between science and the consumer and can see both a need and a solution.
Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.
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 period pieces or genre pieces, those have to be set in historical truths. But, science fiction has different game pieces. And with those game pieces come other stories we're not familiar with. So, science fiction teaches us how to relate to outsiders, to foreigners, and to not approach any of that with fear, but a genuine curiosity.
Going to rehearsals of school plays got me out of science. It became clear what inspired me and what dampened my spirit. The only other thing I could do at school was trampolining - it didn't seem to have much future in it.
! want to leverage the creativity of researchers across mathematics, statistics, data mining, computer science, biology, medicine, and the public at large.
Life science is an investment for the future.
Follow your curiosity, and have the courage to meet the challenge. That's where science starts, in my opinion.
When I was a kid, I figured I would be a physicist when I grew up, and then I would write science fiction on the side. The physicist thing didn't pan out, but writing science fiction on the side did.
I was a very keen reader of science fiction.
I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.
For years I've wanted to write a book about mummies, and had been following the science of mummy CT scans when the premise for 'The Keepsake' occurred to me: what if an 'ancient' mummy turns out to have a bullet in its leg? How does a modern murder victim get turned into a mummy?
Science is always inquiring.
Science and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.
Moral science is better occupied when treating of friendship than of justice.
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.
This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another.
The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.
Science is nothing, but trained and organized common sense.
Books are the money of Literature, but only the counters of Science.
The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.
Science commits suicide when it adopts a creed.
Science and literature are not two things, but two sides of one thing.
No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.
