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

There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.

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

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

The capacity of the female mind for studies of the highest order cannot be doubted, having been sufficiently illustrated by its works of genius, of erudition, and of science.

I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.

The arts have only ever interested a small minority of people, which acted as a kind of nursery to support artists.

In order to arrive at knowledge of the motions of birds in the air, it is first necessary to acquire knowledge of the winds, which we will prove by the motions of water in itself, and this knowledge will be a step enabling us to arrive at the knowledge of beings that fly between the air and the wind.

Romance should never begin with sentiment. It should begin with science and end with a settlement.

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?

I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.

Millions of people were inspired by the Apollo Program. I was five years old when I watched Apollo 11 unfold on television, and without any doubt it was a big contributor to my passions for science, engineering, and exploration.

Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.

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.

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

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.

My dad kind of liked racing and motorsports, but wasn’t a big fan, it wasn’t like he watched every race or whatever.

It is the interest of the commercial world that wealth should be found everywhere.

I was always interested – I mean, it’s kind of part of your job – I was always interested in the camera.

Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions.

The product of mental labor – science – always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

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.

The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science – that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.

Understanding science and pushing the boundaries of science is what makes me immensely satisfied.

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

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

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one’s living at it.

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

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.

I never wanted to be a scientist per se. I wanted to be a naturalist.

The first amazing fact about gravitation is that the ratio of inertial mass to gravitational mass is constant wherever we have checked it. The second amazing thing about gravitation is how weak it is.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.

Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.

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.

I have a big following among the biogeeks of this world. Nobody ever puts them in books.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.

If I like a thing, it just sticks after once reading it or hearing it.

Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

I grew up with the biologists. I know how they think.

Science and mindfulness complement each other in helping people to eat well and maintain their health and well-being.

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Rockets are cool. There’s no getting around that.

I have found far greater enthusiasm for science in America than here in Britain. There is more enthusiasm for everything in America.

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.

Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?

When I began in 1960, individuality wasn’t an accepted thing to look for; it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There’s room for intuition.

My son likes to go see mines and electric plants, or the Large Hadron Collider, and we’ve had a chance to see a lot of interesting stuff.

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.

I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.

The church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.

I got into science fiction by being interested in astronomy first.

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.

There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person.

I have been on the road and visited numerous places and met people from all over the globe. I can say that it looks nearly the same everywhere I have been: The climate crisis is ignored by people in charge, despite the science being crystal clear.

I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.
