All quotes about:
science opportunity thinking
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, the knowledge, the absolute truth of the day, but remain always uncertain … In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar. Richard P. Feynman
science measurement momentum
Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory.
science play theoretical-physics
It is odd, but on the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics.
science thinking doubt
Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known (for nothing is known absolutely), how to handle doubt and uncertainty, what the rules of evidence are, how to think about things so that judgments can be made, how to distinguish truth from fraud, and from show.
science tourists philosopher
Scientists are explorers. Philosophers are tourists.
science reflection desire
The difficulty really is psychological and exists in the perpetual torment that results from your saying to yourself, "But how can it be like that?" which is a reflection of uncontrolled but utterly vain desire to see it in terms of something familiar. ... If you will simply admit that maybe [Nature] does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possible avoid it, "But how can it be like that?" because you will get 'down the drain', into a blind alley from which nobody has escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that.
science errors certain
If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.
science camels world
Cheetah genes cooperate with cheetah genes but not with camel genes, and vice versa. This is not because cheetah genes, even in the most poetic sense, see any virtue in the preservation of the cheetah species. They are not working to save the cheetah from extinction like some molecular World Wildlife Fund. Richard Dawkins
science curiosity fields
To teach one who has no curiosity to learn, is to sow a field without ploughing it. Richard Whately
engineering two mind
In fact, the science of thermodynamics began with an analysis, by the great engineer Sadi Carnot, of the problem of how to build the best and most efficient engine, and this constitutes one of the few famous cases in which engineering has contributed to fundamental physical theory. Another example that comes to mind is the more recent analysis of information theory by Claude Shannon. These two analyses, incidentally, turn out to be closely related.
engineering gmos people
The present Luddism over genetic engineering may die a natural death as the computer-illiterate generation is superseded.... I fear that, if the green movement's high-amplitude warnings over GMOs turn out to be empty, people will be dangerously disinclined to listen to other and more serious warnings.
engineering progress banking
Progress is cumulative in science and engineering, but cyclical in finance. James Grant
engineering important problem
The most troublesome problem which confronts social engineering is how to provide for the untalented and, what is equally important, how to provide against them. Eric Hoffer
engineering organization deception
Social engineering is using manipulation, influence and deception to get a person, a trusted insider within an organization, to comply with a request, and the request is usually to release information or to perform some sort of action item that benefits that attacker. Kevin Mitnick
engineering achieve function
Engineering is achieving function while avoiding failure. Henry Petroski
engineering innovation world
What is innovation if not our ticket to every business interest in the world? Its the ticket to solving the worlds problems - the energy problems, the pollution problems, the global warming problems. If it isnt for science and engineering, how will we compete in the new world? David Pogue
engineering ratios speed
I happen to love engineering. I love figuring things out in a spatial sense, that whole realm of working with mechanical parts, and the relationship of the parts, and things like ratios and the speeds of particular objects. Arthur Ganson
engineering shelves ask-me
Don't ask me to put up a shelf, but I love engineering. Bruce Dickinson
longest race
I think it is the most challenging race in the city. This year, it is the longest competitive race in the city. Mike Coulter
longer scope sheer size
I think what makes this one different is just the sheer scope and size of it. It's just going to be a much, much longer haul.
long going-out motorbike
Treating myself is more about just going out and having a great hike, or going on a long motorbike ride. Tricia Helfer
long mechanic length
String theory?[pause] It closed the conceptual gulp between relativity and quantum mechanics. It postulates that subatomic particles are not points, but strings, about one planck length long. The rate at which strings vibrate can generate the properties of all known particles. Huh? How did I know that? Willie Garson
long wells
They lived long that have lived well. Woodrow Wilson
long mind dying
I don't mind dying... as long as I don't have to be there when it happens. Woody Allen
long able actors
As I got more confident, I was able to let actors improvise, and do long takes. It's 10%, 5% you learn and experience. The rest you just have or you don't have.
long presidential september-11
Americans long to be united. After 9/11, we all just wanted to be one nation. Not a single American on September the 12, 2001, cared who won the next presidential election. William J. Clinton
long people clinton
Some people say well we need a change. Hillary Clinton is been around a long, she sure has, and she's sure been worth every single year she's put into making people's lives better.
