What intrigues basic scientists like me is that anytime we do a series of experiments, there are going to be three or four new questions that come up when you think you've answered one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a great believer in our ability to come up with the ideas necessary to solve the big questions. I have less confidence that we'll be able to find a consensus about which ones are right without experiment.
Scientific inquiry starts with observation. The more one can see, the more one can investigate.
In science, every question answered leads to 10 more. I love that science can never, ever be finished. From a young age, people think, 'Science is hard and boring.' We don't tell children, 'Yes, you have to learn these formulae and theorems, but then you go on to learn about nuclear reactions and stars.'
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
Science is curiosity, testing and experimenting.
If one has curiosity, then one stands the chance of attain a high level of scientific inquiry.
Science is about applying what we know and asking what we don't know.
If you do an experiment and it gives you what you did not expect, it is a discovery.
Over the years, a number of other intriguing experimental ideas and areas of investigation have been the objects of my attention, and I have devoted some time and effort to exploring the inherent possbilities.
The scientist's inquiry into the causes of things is providing an ever more extensive understanding of nature.
