Science is organized common sense where many a beautiful theory was killed by an ugly fact.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The great tragedy of science - the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.
Science is simply common sense at its best, that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic.
Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful.
Science is nothing, but trained and organized common sense.
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Examples include the double helix in biology and the fundamental equations of physics.
The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.
Every theory presented as a scientific concept is just that; it's a theory that tries to explain more about the world than previous theories have done. It is open to being challenged and to being proven incorrect.
Science moves with the spirit of an adventure characterized both by youthful arrogance and by the belief that the truth, once found, would be simple as well as pretty.
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
