But a science is exact to the extent that its method measures up to and is adequate to its object.

The heart of science is measurement.

If I'm writing, I'll say something metaphorical or approximate, whereas scientists are very precise.

Some things tend not to work so well for science - things that rely on substantial written contributions by key experts are a case in point - but even there I tend to keep an open mind, because it may just be a case of finding the right formula.

That is the essence of science: ask an impertinent question, and you are on the way to a pertinent answer.

My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.

I have suggested that scientific progress requires a favorable environment.

Science is to be much commended for the ingenuity, the patience, and the persistency it displays in the invention of instruments wherewith to ferret out the secrets of nature.

I'm not just a scientist.

Watch every detail that affects the accuracy of your work.
