- Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science.
- Claude Bernard on Science
- Of all the failed technologies that litter the onward march of science - steam carriages, zeppelins, armoured trains - none has been so catastrophic to prosperity as the last century's attempt to generate electricity from nuclear fission.
- James Buchan on Science
- Of course in science there are things that are open to doubt and things need to be discussed. But among the things that science does know, evolution is about as certain as anything we know.
- Richard Dawkins on Science
- Of course, not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments, but for the people who are willing to go out and do that, - if the experiments don't work, then it means it's not science.
- Seth Lloyd on Science
- Of the two, I would think of my work as closer to Science Fiction than Fantasy.
- Jean M. Auel on Science
- Oh, I'm nerdy about science fiction and fantasy and graphic novels and reading, and I'm nerdy about board games. My favorite board game is a board game I'm working on right now. It's a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare, and it's going to be fun.
- Billy Campbell on Science
- On the other hand, the waging of peace as a science, as an art, is in its infancy. But we can trace its growth, its steady progress, and the time will come when there will be particular individuals designated to assume responsibility for and leadership of this movement.
- Fredrik Bajer on Science
- 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.
- Robert A. Heinlein on Science
- One hardly knows where, in the history of science, to look for an important movement that had its effective start in so pure and simple an accident as that which led to the building of the great Washington telescope, and went on to the discovery of the satellites of Mars.
- Simon Newcomb on Science
- One of my degrees was a science degree in biology.
- Elizabeth Moon on Science
- One of the first rules of science is if somebody delivers a secret weapon to you, you better use it.
- Herbert Simon on Science
- One of the nice things about science fiction is that it lets us carry out thought experiments.
- Rudy Rucker on Science
- One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about.
- Michael Gove on Science
- One of the reasons I did this, because I wasn't really looking for another science fiction film, was that my daughter can see it. She's 9 and it's really a good film for all ages.
- Sigourney Weaver on Science
- One of the things that ultimately led me to leave mathematics and go into political science was thinking I could prevent nuclear war.
- Paul Wolfowitz on Science
- One science only will one genius fit so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
- Alexander Pope on Science
- One would have to have completely forgotten the history of science so as to not remember that the desire to know nature has had the most constant and the happiest influence on the development of mathematics.
- Henri Poincare on Science
- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
- Albert Einstein on Science
- Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world - biocentrism - revolves around the way a subjective experience, which we call consciousness, relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life.
- Robert Lanza on Science
- Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.
- Friedrich Durrenmatt on Science
- Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.
- Martin Luther King, Jr. on Science
- Our work on light bulbs wasn't an arbitrary mandate. We didn't just pick a standard out of the air, or look for a catchy sounding standard like 25 by 2025 not based in science or feasibility. Instead, we worked with both industry and environmental groups to come up with a standard that made sense and was doable.
- Fred Upton on Science
