People wouldn't even go into science unless there was something much bigger to be discovered, something that is transcendent.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You should only go into science if you really have a yearning to make scientific discoveries.
Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits.
Certainly, it may bring to light such a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter as to constitute a veritable discontinuity in the progress of science.
We would be in a nasty position indeed if empirical science were the only kind of science possible.
The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they were found because it was possible to find them.
That knowledge which is popular is not scientific.
Science is far from the center of the world for most people: even for many with highly sophisticated tastes, interests, and accomplishments.
There cannot be any impediment to science that will ultimately be good to the general public.
We will always have more to discover, more to invent, more to understand and that's much closer to art and literature than any science.
