Science can lift people out of poverty and cure disease. That, in turn, will reduce civil unrest.

Music is not math. It’s science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.

Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.

A calling is you feel – you look out and see the need – maybe it’s the need for the poor, to help poor people. Maybe it’s the need to get involved in the race problem, as Martin Luther King was – felt called.

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

My first popular book, ‚A Brief History of Time,‘ aroused a great deal of interest, but many found it difficult to understand.

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

Skeptical scrutiny is the means, in both science and religion, by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense.

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It’s really counterintuitive.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

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.

I like to talk about lint and coasters, the expansion of the universe and maybe McDonald’s. I’m completely turned off by the idea of politics.

No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.

OK, so what’s the speed of dark?

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?

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

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

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.

Nature never breaks her own laws.

Science is nothing but perception.

Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.

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

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

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

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

Income inequity has to be addressed.

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

Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.

My message to the Americans is the same as to everyone – that is to unite behind the science and to act on the science.

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

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can’t solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.

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.

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.

Man lives for science as well as bread.

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.

Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful.

Science is the captain, and practice the soldiers.

Before we understand science, it is natural to believe that God created the universe.

We make the future sustainable when we invest in the poor, not when we insist on their suffering.

And yet it moves.

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.

Science has revealed that the human body is made up of millions and millions of atoms… For example, I am made up of 5.8×10 27 atoms.

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.

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

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

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.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn’t even nothing or once.

Science is what you know, philosophy is what you don’t know.

This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.

Quarks came in a number of varieties – in fact, at first, only three were needed to explain all the hundreds of particles and the different kinds of quarks – they are called u-type, d-type, s-type.

The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.

Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

In order for the United States to do the right things for the long term, it appears to be helpful for us to have the prospect of humiliation. Sputnik helped us fund good science – really good science: the semiconductor came out of it.

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.
