Science, in all its greatness, is still subject to human creativity. It starts the first moment a child tries to reach up and grab at the clouds. Soon, the child learns that his own hands...

God, Buddha, The Force, Yahweh, the singularity, the unicity point—call it whatever you like—the result is the same. Science and religion support the same truth—pure energy is the father of creation.

It is my assessment that most police officers who spend their days driving around USA cities will have some levelof radiation sickness and this is concerning!

Bohr’s standpoint, that a space-time description is impossible, I reject a limine. Physics does not consist only of atomic research, science does not consist only of physics, and life does not consist only of science....

The entire Jesus concept, that human sacrifice should be the substratum of a moral religion of love, strikes me as incongruous. God condemned us and Jesus saved us, and they are actually the same being?...

Of the many species that have existed on earth–estimates run as high as fifty billion–more than ninety-nine per cent have disappeared. In the light of this, it is sometimes joked that all of life today...

He is like the fox, who effaces his tracks in the sand with his tail.{Describing the writing style of famous mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss}

If faith makes people buy an entire package of myths and values without asking too many questions, scientists are only slightly better.

I am not very impressed with theological arguments whatever they may be used to support. Such arguments have often been found unsatisfactory in the past. In the time of Galileo it was argued that the...

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age

We are a biological species arising from Earth’s biosphere as one adapted species among many; and however splendid our languages and cultures, however rich and subtle our minds, however vast our creative powers, the mental...

Wherever there is abuse there is also corruption. Politics, philosophy, theology, science, industry, any field with the potential to affect the well-being of others can be destroyed by abuse and saved by good will.

Science is agnostic when it comes to God – not atheistic, as some people prefer to read that laden word wrongly – just agnostic.

Philosophers and psychiatrists should explain why it is that we mathematicians are in the habit of systematically erasing our footsteps. Scientists have always looked askance at this strange habit of mathematicians, which has changed little...

Einsteinian” relativity or of Planck’s quantum theory in relation to Newton’s discoveries. They take absolutely nothing away from the greatness of the learned Englishman. Thanks to Newton, physics was able to advance until it achieved...

Now, the invention of the scientific method and science is, I’m sure we’ll all agree, the most powerful intellectual idea, the most powerful framework for thinking and investigating and understanding and challenging the world around...

After long reflection in solitude and meditation, I suddenly had the idea, during the year 1923, that the discovery made by Einstein in 1905 should be generalised by extending it to all material particles and...

Have you ever felt love?Did you need scientific proof of this? How would you have definitively and scientifically proved your love existed? If you could not prove it, would that mean your love didn’t exist?...

The tape measures and weighing scales of the Victorian brain scientists have been supplanted by powerful neuroimaging technologies, but there is still a lesson to be learned from historical examples such as these. State-of-the-art brain...

Freud expressed the opinion—not quite in earnest, though, it seemed to me—that philosophy was the most decent form of sublimation of repressed sexuality, nothing more. In response I put the question, ‘What then is science,...

This ‘web of discourses’ as Robyn called it…is as much a biological product as any of the other constructions to be found in the animal world. (Clothes too, are part of the extended phenotype of...

The ruinous abdication by philosophy of its rightful domain is the consequence of the oblivion of philosophers to a great insight first beheld clearly by Socrates and re-affirmed by Kant as by no other philosopher....

In a very real sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that feels

The ‘Instagram Generation’ now experiences the present as an anticipated memory.

The full impact of the Lobachevskian method of challenging axioms has probably yet to be felt. It is no exaggeration to call Lobachevsky the Copernicus of Geometry [as did Clifford], for geometry is only a...

What sets science and the law apart from religion is that nothing is expected to be taken on faith. We’re encouraged to ask whether the evidence actually supports what we’re being told – or what...

Today, the theory of evolution is an accepted fact for everyone but a fundamentalist minority, whose objections are based not on reasoning but on doctrinaire adherence to religious principles.

Ancak, tam anlamıyla kendisi olmaya doğru bir adım atmaya çalışan herkes, korkusuzluk yönünde yeni bir adım atıldığında, çok kesin bir güç ve sevinç duygusunun uyandığını bilir. Yeni bir yaşam evresinin başlamış olduğunu duyumsar. Goethe’nin dizelerindeki...

Highly organized research is guaranteed to produce nothing new.

It surely can be no offence to state, that the progress of science has led to new views, and that the consequences that can be deduced from the knowledge of a hundred facts may be...

We have long laboured under an obtuse presupposition that the senses by which other living creatures perceive their world must to a great extent resemble our own; but in fact we are, by scientific invention,...

Genius and science have burst the limits of space, and few observations, explained by just reasoning, have unveiled the mechanism of the universe. Would it not also be glorious for man to burst the limits...

This spacecraft is going to rewrite the science textbooks on Mars.

Eventually we will all wither and die in the wasteland of logic and science.

I myself have dreamed up a structure intermediate between Dyson spheres and planets. Build a ring 93 million miles in radius – one Earth orbit – around the sun. If we have the mass of...

Creation is scientific.

With respect to human nature, we believe that the idea of God’s image implies relationship and not any characteristic that would have left a mark in the paleoanthropological record.

We all have an unscientific weakness for being always in the right, and this weakness seems to be particularly common among professional and amateur politicians. But the only way to apply something like scientific method...

It is, however, a most astonishing but incontestable fact, that the history of the evolution of man as yet constitutes no part of general education. Indeed, our so-called ‘educated classes’ are to this day in...

Man wants to see nature and evolution as separate from human activities. There is a natural world, and there is man. But man also belongs to the natural world. If he is a ferocious predator,...

Medicine, as we are practising it, is a luxury trade. We are selling bread at the price of jewels… Let us take the profit, the private economic profit, out of medicine, and purify our profession...

Claude tiene una pinche potencia omfg perdí la cuenta de cuentas veces yo no podía ni caminar después.

There is no logical staircase running from the physics of 10-28 cm. to the physics of 1028 light-years.

We are at the dawn of a technological arms race, an arms race between people who are using technology for good and those who are using it for ill.

Science makes people reach selflessly for truth and objectivity; it teaches people to accept reality, with wonder and admiration, not to mention the deep awe and joy that the natural order of things brings to...

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

There are official searchers, inquisitors. I have seen them in the performance of their function: they always arrive extremely tired from their journeys; they speak of a broken stairway which almost killed them; they talk...

Praxeology is a theoretical and systematic, not a historical, science. Its scope is human action as such, irrespective of all environmental, accidental, and individual circumstances of the concrete acts. Its cognition is purely formal and...

The trouble with the world is that people are still superstitious instead of scientific. If everybody would study science more, there wouldn’t be all the trouble there was.

First, by what means it is that a Plant, or any Part of it, comes to Grow, a Seed to put forth a Root and Trunk… How the Aliment by which a Plant is fed,...
