The imposing edifice of science provides a challenging view of what can be achieved by the accumulation of many small efforts in a steady objective and dedicated search for truth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality.
Science is the pursuit of pure truth, and the systematizing of it.
Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.
In a world where it is so easy to neglect, deny, corrupt and suppress the truth, the scientist may find his discipline severe. For him, truth is so seldom the sudden light that shows new order and beauty; more often, truth is the uncharted rock that sinks his ship in the dark.
A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it. It is civilizing because it puts truth ahead of all else, including personal interests.
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they were found because it was possible to find them.
Science is the ultimate tool to reveal the laws of nature, and the one word written on its banner is Truth.
It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful: they are found because it was possible to find them.
