Touch a scientist and you touch a child.
Of course Einstein was a very great scientist indeed and I have enormous respect for him and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world.
I'm a scientist not a theologian. I don't know if there is a God or not. Religion requires certainty.
The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist from becoming confused by the ocean of anomalies.
I feel blessed to be here representing our country and carrying out th research of scientists around the world... I hope you could feel the positive energy that beamed to the whole planet as we glided over.
Some of the FDA's own scientists have charged that politics not science is behind the FDA's actions.
The scientist does not study nature because it is useful he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
God created the world the laws of nature were created by God. True science tries to find out what God put in the world. The trouble is where scientists speculate about theology and they don't know what they're talking about because they weren't there. They can't speculate about the origins of life because they weren't there.
What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole the keyhole of nature trying to know what's going on.
If not for music I would probably be a very frustrated scientist. It's one way to answer the question 'What is the meaning of life?' I feel music answers it better.
I'm a medical doctor and a biomedical scientist.
I am sorry to say that there is too much point to the wisecrack that life is extinct on other planets because their scientists were more advanced than ours.
The mind of the polyglot is a very particular thing and scientists are only beginning to look closely at how acquiring a second language influences learning behavior and the very structure of the brain itself.
Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is or can be proven knowledge.
Just because scientists have the knowledge to do it the technology to do it and some may even have a financial motive or other incentive to do it does not make it right.
The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain.
As this body of knowledge has evolved a much more critical job for researchers and scientists has evolved into explaining and educating policy makers and the public to the risks of global warming and the possible consequences of action or of no action.
A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge.
I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out.
Others think it the responsibility of scientists to coerce the rest of society because they have the power that derives from special knowledge.
Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.
One way we can enliven the imagination is to push it toward the illogical. We're not scientists. We don't always have to make the logical reasonable leap.
Without imagination we can go nowhere. And imagination is not restricted to the arts. Every scientist I have met who has been a success has had to imagine.
Today mythical thinking has fallen into disrepute we often dismiss it as irrational and self-indulgent. But the imagination is also the faculty that has enabled scientists to bring new knowledge to light and to invent technology that has made us immeasurably more effective.
