3 December 2020 Kenneth L. Pike With acknowledgement of residues, we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science, the overlapping of disciplines, and the total coherence of all facts.
3 December 2020 Tim Bishop In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.
3 December 2020 James Dyson I think people are realizing that engineering and science are extremely good degrees to get and you’ll be very highly paid once you’ve got them.
3 December 2020 Kary Mullis Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric.
3 December 2020 Stephen Hawking I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.
3 December 2020 Amy Lowell In science, read by preference the newest works. In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern.
3 December 2020 Iain Banks A lot of what the ‘Culture’ is about is a reaction to all the science fiction I was reading in my very early teens.
3 December 2020 Gregory Bateson Science, like art, religion, commerce, warfare, and even sleep, is based on presuppositions.
3 December 2020 Thomas Carlyle This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
3 December 2020 James D. Watson I think the reason people are dealing with science less well now than 50 years ago is that it has become so complicated.
3 December 2020 Neil LaBute I would be more frightened as a writer if people thought my movies were like science fiction.
3 December 2020 Anne Stevenson I dislike literary jargon and never use it. Criticism has only one function and that is to help readers read and understand literature. It is not a science, it is an aid to art.
3 December 2020 John Boyd Orr Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.
3 December 2020 Barbara Kingsolver I’ve always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render.
3 December 2020 Michael Pollan The big journals and Nobel laureates are the equivalent of Congressional leaders in science journalism.
3 December 2020 Stephen Hawking The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
3 December 2020 George Wald Science goes from question to question big questions, and little, tentative answers. The questions as they age grow ever broader, the answers are seen to be more limited.
3 December 2020 Leon Askin 1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me, most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.
3 December 2020 Michael Shermer But the power of science lies in open publication, which, with the rise of the Internet, is no longer constrained by the price of paper.
3 December 2020 Louis Pasteur There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
3 December 2020 Randy Newman Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it’s really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
3 December 2020 Malcolm Turnbull If Margaret Thatcher took climate change seriously and believed that we should take action to reduce global greenhouse emissions, then taking action and supporting and accepting the science can hardly be the mark of incipient Bolshevism.
3 December 2020 Octavia Butler So fantasy was fine early on, and when I discovered science fiction, I was very happy with it, because my first interest in science fiction came with an interest in astronomy.
3 December 2020 Elizabeth Moon I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can’t really do much with those in a fantasy setting.
