Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

Although scientists can often be as resistant to new ideas as anyone, the process of science ensures that, over time, good ideas and theories prevail.

Certainly, it may bring to light such a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter as to constitute a veritable discontinuity in the progress of science.

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

Scientists - who prefer explanations subject to laboratory tests - figure that everything we see today was as inevitable as wrinkles, once the Big Bang established physics. Stars and planets were cooked up as huge clouds of matter collapsed and coalesced.

A view of nature as dense and nonlinear is at the core of our contemporary science. Process and order emerge subtly.

Science cannot progress without reliable and accurate measurement of what it is you are trying to study. The key is measurement, simple as that.

Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.

In fact, quantitative findings of any material and energy changes preserve their full context only through their being seen and understood as parts of a natural order.

The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
