It would be difficult to discover the truth about the universe if we refused to consider anything that might be true.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.
Even if I stumble on to the absolute truth of any aspect of the universe, I will not realise my luck and instead will spend my life trying to find flaws in this understanding - such is the role of a scientist.
It is reality that awakens possibilities, and nothing would be more perverse than to deny it.
People wouldn't even go into science unless there was something much bigger to be discovered, something that is transcendent.
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
If we were to abandon concern for what is true, what is false, and what remains indeterminate, the world would be totally chaotic. Even those who deny the importance of truth, on the one hand, are quick to jump on anyone who is caught lying.
As scientists, we need to not be afraid of the truth.
There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.
Heisenberg, Max Plank and Einstein, they all agreed that science could not solve the mystery of the universe.
We don't regard any scientific theory as the absolute truth.
