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.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

We must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.

All the scientists and technologists should work in appropriate region, specifically the rural technologies, to transform Indian rural sector.

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

I’m half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times.

My life as a child did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.

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

Few people have the imagination for reality.

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

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

I was not an anthropology student prior to the war. I took it up as part of a personal readjustment following some bewildering experiences as an infantryman and later as a prisoner of war in Dresden, Germany. The science of the Study of Man has been extremely satisfactory from that personal standpoint.

Whatever has happened in my quest for innovation has been part of my quest for immaculate reality.

The Guide is definitive. Reality is frequently inaccurate.

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.

Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.

Facts are stubborn things.

I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.

Mathematics takes us into the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the actual word, but every possible word, must conform.

The best and safest method of philosophizing seems to be first to inquire diligently into the properties of things, and establishing those properties by experiments, and then to proceed more slowly to hypotheses for the explanation of them.

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.

In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.

Mendacity is a system that we live in. Liquor is one way out an death’s the other.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

Cosmology is a rapidly advancing field.

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

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

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

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.

There is a single light of science, and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it everywhere.

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.

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

We want to answer this classical question, who am I? So I think that most of our works are for art, or whatever we do, including science or religion, tried to answer that question.

Rastafari not a culture, it’s a reality.

In my opinion, there is no aspect of reality beyond the reach of the human mind.

Memories are thoughts that arise. They’re not realities. Only when you believe that they are real, then they have the power over you. But when you realize it’s just another thought arising about the past, then you can have a spacious relationship with that thought. The thought no longer has you in its grip.

The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

Art is the beautiful way of doing things. Science is the effective way of doing things. Business is the economic way of doing things.

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.

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.

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

If the experiments which I urge be defective, it cannot be difficult to show the defects; but if valid, then by proving the theory, they must render all objections invalid.

As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.

Before I lost my voice, it was slurred, so only those close to me could understand, but with the computer voice, I found I could give popular lectures. I enjoy communicating science. It is important that the public understands basic science, if they are not to leave vital decisions to others.

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

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

Truth is mighty and will prevail. There is nothing wrong with this, except that it ain’t so.

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

While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I’m no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.

We are certainly not to relinquish the evidence of experiments for the sake of dreams and vain fictions of our own devising; nor are we to recede from the analogy of Nature, which is wont to be simple and always consonant to itself.

The formula ‚Two and two make five‘ is not without its attractions.

Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

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

The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

Our daily deeds as ordinary South Africans must produce an actual South African reality that will reinforce humanity’s belief in justice, strengthen its confidence in the nobility of the human soul, and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

We must find our duties in what comes to us, not in what might have been.

Creationists make it sound as though a ‚theory‘ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.

Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way – everything is interdependent, not absolute.

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
