Spectroscopy can probably answer the question, 'Is there anybody out there?' Are we alone?

There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.

Experimental science is fascinating, but I don't want to do it. I want other people to do it, and I'll read about it.

Science is spectral analysis. Art is light synthesis.

Astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer.

There certainly is such a thing as screen chemistry, although I don't believe you find it frequently.

You just can't fake chemistry.

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

Sometimes I get too wound up in my chemistry, but if you play chamber music, it's impossible to think about chemistry.

There is only one instrument which is adequate to investigate the things of the spirit, and that is the Spirit itself. Just as it is necessary to train a man for scientific research in the physical world, so also is a long and slow process required to fit oneself for investigation of the spiritual world.
