In the early days of aviation, there was a great deal of experimentation and a high death rate.

The Internet is just another experiment showing us more sides of us.

To master a new technology, you have to play with it.

I’ve tried different things through the years to get some play on mainstream. I’ll try to tailor-make it.

I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven’t tried that for a while. Maybe this time it’ll work.

The space shuttle was often used as an example of why you shouldn’t even attempt to make something reusable. But one failed experiment does not invalidate the greater goal. If that was the case, we’d never have had the light bulb.

As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember.

See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise, you will only see what you were expecting. Most scientists forget that.

I just want to keep pushing the envelope without it feeling forced.

I don’t think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you’re willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn’t work. If you’re going to invent, it means you’re going to experiment, and if you’re going to experiment, you’re going to fail, and if you’re going to fail, you have to think long term.

My knowledge of electrical subjects was not acquired in a methodical manner but was picked up from such books as I could get hold of and from such experiments as I could make with my own hands.

The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.

Hypotheses should be subservient only in explaining the properties of things but not assumed in determining them, unless so far as they may furnish experiments.

I never experiment with anything in my books. Experimentation means you don’t know what you’re doing.

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.

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.

On the RFactor model that comes with the ‚Pro-Sim,‘ everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you’re on a race weekend.

Most of those melodies are me trying to find out what notes fit, and then hitting ones that don’t fit in a very interesting way.

I set up situations that involve abandoning control and finding out what happens.

I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.
