There are two kinds of science: The black science and the white science. The science of weapon production is the black one. Working in this category of science is a great betrayal to humanity!
I’m concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.
Illness might progressively vanish so might identity. Grief might be diminished, but so might tenderness. Traumas might be erased but so might history. Infirmities might disappear, but so might vulnerability. Chance would become mitigated, but so, inevitably, would choice.
I can call the spirits from the vasty deep.Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;But will they come, when you do call for them?
Machine Man faithfully believes that conscious intelligent life came by chance from unconscious, dumb and dead matter that nobody suddenly made out of nothing for no reasons at all.
A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.
Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no need of change.
Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years.
I would argue that the issue of God and the issue of science have the same roots.
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
Though I believe in God, I don’t believe in religion for everybody. Some people who are a little weak and don’t want to shoulder any responsibility need Catholicism. For people at the other extreme, there is Christian Science… I think a powerful conscience is worth all the religions put together.
It is our task, both in science and in society at large, to prove the conventional wisdom wrong and to make our unpredictable dreams come true
Therefore, the good of man must be the end of the science of politics.
We’re not responsible, he thought. This planet is a temporary affair. It’s whizzing with all kinds of other ones, a whole range of planetary stuff, toward a star in the Milky Way. On that kind of a planet we’re not responsible, he thought.
Every scientist is a descendant of Humboldt. We are all his family.
Often, superstition and injustice are imposed by the same ecclesiastical and secular authorities, working hand in glove. It is no surprise that political revolutions, scepticism about religion, and the rise of science might go together,
There is a certain seductiveness about dead things. You can ill treat, alter and recolour what’s dead. It won’t complain.
Some people look like they sound better than they actually sound, because they look confident and have good posture, once musician, a veteran of many auditions, says. Other people look awful when they play but sound great. Other people have that belabored look when they play, but you can’t hear it in the sound. There is always this dissonance between what you see and hear (p.251).
Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.
Life continues to develop and evolve every day. Just as humans reach new levels; animals, insects, plants, and bacteria reach new levels as well. Therefore, what may be true today can significantly change tomorrow.
Drafting is not only an art, but there’s a degree of science as well.
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach.
But I quite like the way you can talk about science without necessarily using mathematics, but using metaphors instead.
When we talk about dystopias, especially in young adult fiction, a lot of them are essentially science fictional futures. They aren’t necessarily tied to the traditional concept of dystopia. And so in that space, my impression is that kids love reading about weird, wild, adventurous places, and dystopia fits that bill.
If there are still honest-smart men and women within those old and noble traditions, they should think carefully, observe and diagnose the illness. They should face the contradiction. Discuss the conflation. And then do as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and many others have done. Choose the miracle of creative competition over an idolatry of cash.They should stand up..
The lack of time and space in our sense of these concepts does not mean that nothing exists beyond the spacetime continuum.
Il nous faut partir d’une conception d’ensemble de l’organisme en tant qu’une entité fondamentale de la biologie, puis comprendre comment celui-ci se divise en parties qui respectent son ordre intrinsèque – pour donner un organisme harmonieusement intégré en dépit de sa complexité.
The view is often defended that sciences should be built up on clear and sharply defined basal concepts. In actual fact no science, not even the most exact, begins with such definitions. The true beginning of scientific activity consists rather in describing phenomena and then in proceeding to group, classify and correlate them.
Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
If you look in ‘The Science of Getting Rich,’ you see no reference whatsoever to the ‘law of attraction.’
It’s been suggested that if the super-naturalists really had the powers they claim, they’d win the lottery every week. I prefer to point out that they could also win a Nobel Prize for discovering fundamental physical forces hitherto unknown to science. Either way, why are they wasting their talents doing party turns on television?By all means let’s be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.
To achieve is:To do it first, To do it quick, To do it big, To do it different andTo do it best – the pinnacle of human accomplishment.
If you don’t pass on good traits to people,you have no right to judge their bad traits
The evidence that artificial intelligence is artificially speciating is found in today’s lexicon for the emerging field of AI Safety. The very concepts that currently define AI Safety – machine ethics and AI Alignment – are variations of existing artificial evolutionary concepts
The four stages of acceptance:1. This is worthless nonsense.2. This is an interesting, but perverse, point of view.3. This is true, but quite unimportant.4. I always said so.(Review of The Truth About Death, in: Journal of Genetics 1963, Vol. 58, p.464)
Though it might be nice to imagine there once was a time when man lived in harmony with nature, it’s not clear that he ever really did.
Every being carries within them a spark of the Infinite a divine seed planted by the Supreme Being, meant to grow, evolve, experience, and return to its Source in full awareness.
Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can’t construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.
So, in the face of overwhelming odds, I’m left with only one option: I’m going to have to science the shit out of this.
Science isn’t just about blowing things up. Rather it’s about blowing things up and knowing how you did it.
I walk up and down the rows. The heads look like rubber halloween masks. They also look like human heads, but my brain has no precedent for human heads on tables or in roasting pans or anywhere other than on top of a human bodies, and so I think it has chosen to interpret the sight in a more comforting manner. – Here we are at the rubber mask factory. Look at the nice men and woman working on the masks.
My interest is that there is a disconnect between the science and the size of the threat that people mention about nature, the planet and the climate, and the emotion that this triggers. So we are supposed to be extremely frightened people, but despite that we appear to sleep pretty well.
I would teach how science works as much as I would teach what science knows. I would assert (given that essentially, everyone will learn to read) that science literacy is the most important kind of literacy they can take into the 21st century. I would undervalue grades based on knowing things and find ways to reward curiosity. In the end, it’s the people who are curious who change the world.
As the statistician George E. P. Box wrote, All models are wrong, but some models are useful. What he meant by that is that all models are simplifications of the universe, as they must necessarily be. As another mathematician said, The best model of a cat is a cat….The key is in remembering that a model is a tool to help us understand the complexities of the universe, and never a substitute for the universe itself.
It was a large room, heavily outfitted with the usual badly ventilated furnaces, rows of bubbling crucibles, and one stuffed alligator. Things floated in jars. The air smelled of a limited life expectancy.
People don’t learn science in movies. You don’t go to the movies thinking, ‘I hope I learn some quantum mechanics this afternoon.’ But on the other hand, movies are instrumental and influential in getting young people interested in science.
From year to year, and from age to age, we see [biologists] at work, adding no doubt much to the unknown, and advancing many important interests, but, at the same time, doing little for the establishment of comprehensive views of nature. Experiments in however narrow a walk, facts of whatever minuteness, make reputations in scientific societies; all beyond is regarded with suspicion and distrust.
Ivy pulls the hood from her blond head and glares at him. “You almost killed me,” she says, massaging her throat. Callum snorts. “Then you’d be dead. I don’t do anything halfway.
Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.
Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt.
While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.
If I can get some student interested in science, if I can show members of the general public what’s going on up there in the space program, then my job’s been done.
But his opponents did not have the insight to see that the Creator is best demonstrated by understanding the marvels of creation.
I believe that an important patriotic and national duty lies beyond it. We have to reform our domestic condition and prove by our actions that we are capable of becoming an active member of the community of civilized nations.
Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory and, when successful, finds none.
I think that modern physics has definitely decided in favor of Plato. In fact the smallest units of matter are not physical objects in the ordinary sense; they are forms, ideas which can be expressed unambiguously only in mathematical language.
Neuroscience is a baby science, a mere century old, and our scientific understanding of the brain is nowhere near where we’d like it to be. We know more about the moons of Jupiter than what is inside of our skulls.
The laws of gravity cannot be held responcible for people falling in love.
Science will liberate us from the chains of big cities and lead us back to nature.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
It doesn’t work. Nothing works. If I don’t talk, I’m sulking. If I talk I say something wrong. I’ve finished the workbook–The teacher said you must’ve helped me–and i know the reader by heart.
We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.
