Controversy Quote by Lee Smolin Download Open image “Science moves fastest when there's plenty of debate and controversy.” — Lee Smolin ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4.2 out of 5 (5 ratings) Copy quoteShare Controversy Debate Fastest Moves Plenty Science
...the science is getting worse faster than the politics is getting better — David Miliband Copy Share Image
Science moves, but slowly, slowly, creeping on from point to point. — Alfred the Great Copy Share Image
If you publish a scientific paper it is very hard to start a nationwide debate about something. If you do this in a movie,… — Jose Padilha Copy Share Image
Science is so powerful that it drags us kicking and screaming towards the truth despite our best efforts to avoid it. — Peter Watts Copy Share Image
An actual scientist embraces debate because it sharpens their research. — Greg Gutfeld Copy Share Image
There is no debate in the scientific community...We need [Congress] to change things, not to deny what's happening. — Bill Nye Copy Share Image
The politics is far harder than the science. And even if we accept the science we have a big issue of how to deal… — Martin Rees Copy Share Image
Well in the scientific there is virtually no debate over certain things. For example, that we are changing the world. Humans are changing the… — Elizabeth Kolbert Copy Share Image
Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media. — Martin Rees Copy Share Image
Science is very vibrant. There are always new observations to be found. And it's all in the interest in challenging the authority that came… — Greg Graffin Copy Share Image
Scientific knowledge advances haltingly and is stimulated by contention and doubt. — Claude Levi-Strauss Copy Share Image
“This unification of forces and motion has a simple consequence. In a particle theory, you can freely add all kinds of forces, so there is nothing to prevent a proliferation of constants describing the workings of each force. But in string theory, there can be only two fundamental constants. One, called the string tension, describes how much energy is contained… — Lee Smolin Copy Share
“One field Faraday studied was the electric field. This is not a number but a vector, which we may visualize as an arrow and which can vary its direction and length. Imagine such an arrow at each point of space. Imagine that the ends of the arrows at nearby points are attached to one another ny rubber bands. If I… — Lee Smolin Copy Share
“It is interesting to note that the quantum-mechanical revolution was made by a virtually orphaned generation of scientists. Many members of the generation above… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“In fact, the particle-antiparticle annihilation and the closing of the string is necessary, if the theory is to be consistent with relativity, meaning the theory is required to have both open and closed strings. But this means it must include gravity. And the difference between gravity and the other forces is naturally explained, in terms of the difference between open… — Lee Smolin Copy Share
Every string theory that's been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Unfortunately, no one has ever successfully postulated a super-symmetry holding between two known particles. Instead, in all the supersymmetric theories the numbers of particles are at least doubled. A new superpartner is simply postulated to go along with each known particle. Not only are there squarks and sleptons and photinos, there are also sneutrinos to partner the neutrinos, Higgsinos with… — Lee Smolin Copy Share
Those who do good science do so because they choose problems that are suited to them. — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Here's a simplified version of what the Stanford group did. They started with a much-studied kind of string theory-a flat four-dimensional spacetime with a small six-dimensional geometry over each point. They chose the geometry of the six wrapped-up dimensions to be one of the Calabi-Yau spaces (see Chapter 8). As noted, there are at least a hundred thousand of these,… — Lee Smolin Copy Share
“The current crisis in particle physics springs from the fact that the theories have gone beyond the standard model in the last thirty years fall into two categories. Some were falsifiable, and they were falsified. The rest are untested-either because they make no clean predictions or because the predictions they do make are not testable with current technology. Over the… — Lee Smolin Copy Share
“By the time I began my study of physics in the early 1970s, the idea of unifying gravity with the other forces was as dead as the idea of continuous matter. It was a lesson in the foolishness of once great thinkers. Ernst Mach didn’t believe in atoms, James Clerk Maxwell believed in the aether, and Albert Einstein searched for… — Lee Smolin Copy Share
“These two discoveries, of relativity and of the quantum, each required us to break definitively with Newtonian physics. However, in spite of great progress… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“So the challenge for any quantum theory of gravity is to give us a deeper understanding of Bekenstein's entropy and Hawking's temperature.” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
If Melanchthon were alive today, he might not weep because of controversies that surround the Lord's Supper, but he might well sorrow because of… — Erwin W. Lutzer Copy Share Image
As we have seen after every other [Donald] Trump controversy, this one only increased their enthusiasm for him. His supporters thought the idea of… — Steve Inskeep Copy Share Image
My pride is the length of time I have worked in the industry without any major controversy. — Sajid Nadiadwala Copy Share Image
Controversy equalizes fools and wise men in the same way - and the fools know it. — Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr Copy Share Image
Controversy for the sake of controversy is sin. Controversy for the sake of truth is a divine command. — Walter Martin Copy Share Image
Science does not enter a chaotic society to put order into it anymore, to simplify its composition, and to put an end to controversies. It does enter it, but to add new uncertain ingredients... to all the other ingredients that make up the collective experiments. When scientists add their findings to the mix, they do not put an end to… — Bruno Latour Copy Share
I am disappointed by this controversy surrounding A Million Little Pieces because I rely on the publishers to define the category that a book… — Oprah Winfrey Copy Share Image
My stress on the truth in sexual stereotypes and on the biologic basis of sex differences is sure to cause controversy. — Camille Paglia Copy Share Image
Please don't think that I got married on TV for publicity. I already enjoyed a huge fan following, courtesy my character in Bidaai.' Instead,… — Sara Khan Copy Share Image
