There's branches of science which I don't understand; for example, physics. It could be said, I suppose, that I have faith that physicists understand it better than I do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I want to understand the laws of physics I have to first believe what I read about physics. I have to have faith in what I read.
Science has to be understood in its broadest sense, as a method for comprehending all observable reality, and not merely as an instrument for acquiring specialized knowledge.
We physicists don't like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that's when we got interested in science, for a lot of us.
Science can promote an understanding between people at a really fundamental level.
There can sometimes be this fear among laypeople: 'I don't understand everything in science perfectly, so I just can't say anything about it.' I think it's good to know that we scientists are also confused some of the time.
As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn't make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists.
Science has a simple faith, which transcends utility. It is the faith that it is the privilege of man to learn to understand, and that this is his mission.
Physics is a hobby of mine, as much as a person of limited intelligence can understand physics.
If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.
You don't need a science degree to understand about science. You just need to think about it.
