When Neil Armstong first set foot on the moon, he and all the space scientists were puzzled by an unidentifiable white object. I knew immediately what it was. That was a home run ball hit off me in 1973 by Jimmie Foxx.
The issues involved are sufficiently important that courses are now moving out of the philosophy departments and into mainstream computer science. And they affect everyone. Many of the students attracted to these courses are not technology majors, and many of the topics we discuss relate to ethical challenges that transcend the computer world.
Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.
Resistance to action on climate change is crumbling. The business community has a number of prominent leaders arguing for action, and the science on climate change becomes clearer and more inescapable by the day.
Astronomy is perhaps the science whose discoveries owe least to chance, in which human understanding appears in its whole magnitude, and through which man can best learn how small he is.
As a microbiologist, I am particularly concerned with Mr. Bush's blatant disregard for science.
It seems to me the number one vaccine policy question has as much to do with ethics as science.
you do have a certain responsibility to be a spokesman for the scientific community and to represent people.
The vanity of the sciences. Physical science will not console me for the ignorance of morality in the time of affliction. But the science of ethics will always console me for the ignorance of the physical sciences.
The competition draws the next generation of scientists and engineers.
When you're looking that far out, you're giving people their place in the universe, it touches people. Science is often visual, so it doesn't need translation. It's like poetry, it touches you.
Biology occupies a position among the sciences at once marginal and central. Marginal becausethe living world constituting but a tiny and very 'special' part of the universeit does not seem likely that the study of living beings will ever uncover general laws applicable outside the biosphere. But if the ultimate aim of the whole of science is indeed, as I believe, to clarify man's relationship to the universe, then biology must be accorded a central position ...
After listening to a lecture on evolution by a science professor, a student wrote a poem and titled it ''The Amazing Professor.'' The poem read Once I was a tadpole when I began to begin. Then I was a frog with my tail tucked in. Next I was a monkey on a coconut tree. Now I am a doctor with a Ph.D.

Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
The modern dilemma is essentially a spiritual one, and every one of its main aspects, moral, political and scientific, brings us back to the need of a religious solution.
Scientists should look to nature and biology for well-defined answers, especially in fields like optics.
As a theoretical physicist, I feel at once proud and humble at the thought of the illustrious figures that have preceded me here to receive the greatest of all honors in science, the Nobel prize.
Modern-day access has completely changed how we talk about and think about the frontier of the cosmos. This is a modern-day incarnation of what used to be a team of artists who would sit there with a canvas and sort of paint up something that was described to them, to be photographed and put in the sky. This is a new generation of the representation of the frontier of science.
The purpose of the six-month extension is to allow additional time to solicit and evaluate additional information that may help to resolve the scientific disagreement.
We have long possessed the art of war and the science of war, which have been evolved in the minutest detail.
Scientific discovery and scientific knowledge have been achieved only by those who have gone in pursuit of it without any practical purpose whatsoever in view.
Metaphysics is a science.
Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with.
One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen.
Science never gives up searching for truth, since it never claims to have achieved it.
The moral issue here is whether the United States Congress is going to stand in the way of science and preclude scientists from doing lifesaving research.
It is this conception of the unity of the human career which is perhaps the greatest achievement of historical study, since it gained a place analogous to that of natural science.

Much of the debate over global warming is predicated on fear, rather than science.
Indeed, scientific truth by consensus has had a uniformly bad history.
Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.
It is science alone that can solve the problems of hunger and poverty, of insanitation and illiteracy, of superstition and deadening of custom and tradition, of vast resources running to waste, or a rich country inhabited by starving poor...

The finding that Spanish flu came straight from birds has raised concerns among scientists. Previously, a pandemic was only thought likely if an avian strain merged with a human flu virus. For me, it raises even more concern than I already had about the pending potential of a flu pandemic, ... It looks as though an avian strain evolved in 1918 and that led to the deadly outbreak, in much the same way as we're now seeing the Asian avian flu strains evolve.
I think it's a giant waste of money. I don't see a huge (environmental) downside to it, but the science still doesn't show whether it actually works. If they can create another 1.1 million acre-feet of water, that's a huge amount. I wish them luck.
The misinformation campaign promoted by the pro- abortion camp is unbelievable. Scientists know that a human being begins at conception. Yet many in their community, the media and the culture of death proponents deny the facts in order to dupe women and advance the body count.
