“Science is the topography of ignorance. From a few elevated points we triangulate vast spaces, inclosing infinite unknown details. We cast the lead, and draw up a little sand from abysses we may never reach with our dredges.” MayLittlesScienceSpaceIgnoranceDrawsAccountsInfiniteCastsDetailsIgnorantSandAbyssTopography Author:Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
“I reject what I see as flat-footed accounts of the fundamental structure of the world, where we somehow assume that, because ordinary experience involves middle-sized objects in space and time, that fundamental reality must be essentially like that.” WorldRealitySpaceMiddleObjectsOrdinaryAccountsFundamentalsStructureAssumingRejectsFlatsTime And Space Author:L.A.

“I guess it must be a time-of-life thing, looking back and trying to make some sense of who I am and where I've been. It's a weird thing, having to give an account of yourself, to try to make sense of yourself for yourself. I'm not that old, but I have been writing fiction professionally for a long time now. I started so young and went so hard for so long. And I guess it was about feeling I had the space to look over my shoulder.” GivingWritingTryingLooksLongHas BeensHardFeelingsYoungSpaceFictionLong TimeAccountsShouldersWho I AmMake SenseLooking BackWeird ThingsWriting Fiction Author:Tim Winton
“If we consider what science already has enabled men to know-the immensity of space, the fantastic philosophy of the stars, the infinite smallness of the composition of atoms, the macrocosm whereby we succeed only in creating outlines and translating a measure into numbers without our minds being able to form any concrete idea of it-we remain astounded by the enormous machinery of the universe.” IfsKnowsMenMindIdeasPhilosophyAbleFormSuccessScienceUniverseStarsSpaceNumbersSucceedCreatingAccountsInfiniteEnormousFantasticAtomsConcreteTranslateCompositionMachineryOutlinesImmensitySmallnessAstounded Author:Guglielmo Marconi
“The inspirational value of the space program is probably of far greater importance to education than any input of dollars...

“I have tried to read philosophers of all ages and have found many illuminating ideas but no steady progress toward deeper knowledge and understanding. Science, however, gives me the feeling of steady progress: I am convinced that theoretical physics is actual philosophy. It has revolutionized fundamental concepts, e.g., about space and time (relativity), about causality (quantum theory), and about substance and matter (atomistics), and it has taught us new methods of thinking (complementarity) which are applicable far beyond physics.” ThinkingGivingIdeasMatterPhilosophyFeelingsAgeScienceFoundUnderstandingSpaceKnowledgeProgressTaughtTheoryConceptsAccountsGive MeMethodFundamentalsPhilosopherDeeperConvincedPhysicsSubstanceSteadyQuantumTime And SpaceTheoreticalRelativityTaught UsIlluminatingQuantum TheoryCausalityKnowledge And UnderstandingTheoretical PhysicsSteady Progress Author:Max Born
“In a sense Shapley's telling me that space was transparent, which I shouldn't have believed, illustrates a fundamental problem in science, believing what people tell you. Go and find it out for yourself. That same error has persisted in my life and in many other people's. Authorities are not always authorities on everything; they often cling to their own mistakes.” PeopleBelieveProblemScienceSpaceMistakeAuthorityAccountsFundamentalsErrorsTransparent Author:Jesse L.

“The science and technology which have advanced man safely into space have brought about startling medical advances for man on earth. Out of space research have come new knowledge, techniques and instruments which have enabled some bedridden invalids to walk, the totally deaf to hear, the voiceless to talk, and, in the foreseeable future, may even make it possible for the blind to "see."” MenMayEarthScienceSpaceWalksKnowledgeTechnologyPossibilityResearchAccountsInstrumentsBlindMedicineTechniqueMedicalDeafScience And TechnologyVoicelessNew KnowledgeMedical Advances Author:Hubertus Strughold
