If I have learned anything as a scientist, it is that one should not make things complicated when a simple explanation will do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I believe all complicated phenomena can be explained by simpler scientific principles.
I'm a great believer that scientists should spend as much time as possible explaining, and you do explain in the process of teaching.
That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.
They are deceptively simple. I admit that. But for me, all my life I try to simplify things. As a child in school, things were very hard for me to understand often, and I developed a knack, I think. I developed a process to simplify things so I would understand them.
The simplest science book is over my head.
I'm not just a scientist.
Biology sometimes reveals its fundamental principles through what may seem at first to be arcane and bizarre.
Is there anything science should not try to explain? Science is knowledge and knowledge is power - power to do good or evil. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.
Nature can always be more complicated than we imagine.
