I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.

I’ve always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.

Science is global. Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.

In England, an inventor is regarded almost as a crazy man, and in too many instances, invention ends in disappointment and poverty. In America, an inventor is honoured, help is forthcoming, and the exercise of ingenuity, the application of science to the work of man, is there the shortest road to wealth.

New discoveries in science will continue to create a thousand new frontiers for those who still would adventure.

I’m never going to go to Mars, but I’ve helped inspire, thank goodness, the people who built the rockets and sent our photographic equipment off to Mars.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.

If I was just a fan of music, I would think that I was the number one artist in the world.

Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?

Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.

My brother and I were both good at science, and we were both good at English literature. Either one of us could have gone either way.

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.

Gravitation is, so far, not understandable in terms of other phenomena.

Research is creating new knowledge.

It is not scientifically possible to accurately predict the outcome of an action. To suggest otherwise runs contrary to historical experience and the nature of war.

Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.

They say the universe is expanding. That should help with the traffic.

In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.

I had no talent for science. What was infinitely worse: all my fraternity brothers were engineers.

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.

As a Humanist, I love science. I hate superstition, which could never have given us A-bombs.

I enjoyed working with Stephen Merchant. He was wonderful. I’ve been such a big fan of his acting.

He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion.

From a purely positivist point of view, man is the most mysterious and disconcerting of all the objects met with by science.

Science in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.

Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence.

Is evolution a theory, a system, or an hypothesis? It is much more: it is a general condition to which all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must bow and which they must satisfy henceforward if they are to be thinkable and true.

Science arose from poetry… when times change the two can meet again on a higher level as friends.

It is always good to know which ideas cannot be checked directly, but it is not necessary to remove them all. It is not true that we can pursue science completely by using only those concepts which are directly subject to experiment.

I’ve always been interested in science – one of my favourite books is James Watson’s ‚Molecular Biology of the Gene.‘

I need physics more than friends.

The situation in the sciences is this: A concept or an idea which cannot be measured or cannot be referred directly to experiment may or may not be useful. It need not exist in a theory.

I read the ‚Old Testament‘ all the way through when I was about 13 and was horrified. A few months afterwards I read ‚The Origin Of Species‘, hallucinating very mildly because I was in bed with flu at the time. Despite that, or because of that, it all made perfect sense.

No matter what engineering field you’re in, you learn the same basic science and mathematics. And then maybe you learn a little bit about how to apply it.

Ever since Newton, we’ve done science by taking things apart to see how they work. What the computer enables us to do is to put things together to see how they work: we’re now synthesized rather than analysed. I find one of the most enthralling aspects of computers is limitless communication.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Science has explained nothing; the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

Science is a tool, and we invent tools to do things we want. It’s a question of how those tools are used by people.

Science never solves a problem without creating ten more.

Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful.

I love the Sex Pistols. I’m a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.

Science never makes things that do not have to do with what we feel, by which I mean what we want and what we fear.

I believe there are no questions that science can’t answer about a physical universe.

I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.

I was a very keen reader of science fiction, and during the time I was going to libraries, it was good, written by people who knew their science.

There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.

We’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

Evolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes, Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn’t take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.

If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

And yet it moves.

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap – it is all in the mind.

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.

Nature never breaks her own laws.

The smaller the planets are, they are, other things being equal, of so much the greater density; for so the powers of gravity on their several surfaces come nearer to equality. They are likewise, other things being equal, of the greater density, as they are nearer to the sun.

For years, my early work with Roger Penrose seemed to be a disaster for science. It showed that the universe must have begun with a singularity, if Einstein’s general theory of relativity is correct. That appeared to indicate that science could not predict how the universe would begin.

I’ve been a huge fan of Chris Martin forever; it’d be awesome to work with him. He’s really kind, and he’s been really encouraging when we’ve met.

Science predicts that many different kinds of universe will be spontaneously created out of nothing. It is a matter of chance which we are in.
