It's as if scientists exert every effort of will they possess deliberately to find the least significant problems in the world and explain them.… — Stephen Fry Copy Share Image
Anyone who thinks science is trying to make human life easier or more pleasant is utterly mistaken. — Albert Einstein 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… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“The current crisis in particle physics springs from the fact that the theories have gone beyond the standard model in the last thirty years… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“By the time I began my study of physics in the early 1970s, the idea of unifying gravity with the other forces was as… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“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
“Problem 1: Combine general relativity and quantum theory into a single theory that can claim to be the complete theory of nature. This is… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
Debunking bad science should be constant obligation of the science community, even if it takes time away from serious research or seems to be… — Martin Gardner Copy Share Image

Good science is all about following the data as it shows up and letting yourself be proven wrong, and letting everything change while you're… — Rebecca Skloot Copy Share Image
The hallmark of good science is the testing of a plausible hypothesis that is then either supported or rejected by the evidence. — Willie Soon Copy Share Image
The novels that get praised in the NY Review of Books aren't worth reading. Ninety-seven percent of science fiction is adolescent rubbish, but good… — Robert Anton Wilson Copy Share Image

In really, really good science fiction, the line between the science and the fiction is blurry. — Damon Lindelof Copy Share Image
Good science requires distinguishing between "felt knowledge" and knowledge arising out of testable observations. "I am sure" is a mental sensation, not a testable… — Robert A. Burton Copy Share Image
