The scientist's inquiry into the causes of things is providing an ever more extensive understanding of nature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Scientific inquiry starts with observation. The more one can see, the more one can investigate.
Science is about unravelling nature.
There's something really beautiful about science, that human beings can ask these questions and can answer them. You can make models of nature and understand how it works.
Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves.
Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.
I think that we scientists are seeking an understanding of the natural world. We come in various types - chemists and physicists and biologists and such - and we all have the same goal. We are making progress.
Science can promote an understanding between people at a really fundamental level.
Science may eventually explain the world of How. The ultimate world of Why may remain for contemplation, philosophy, religion.
Real progress in understanding nature is rarely incremental. All important advances are sudden intuitions, new principles, new ways of seeing.
That which today calls itself science gives us more and more information, and indigestible glut of information, and less and less understanding.
