“Science is nothing more than a method of inquiry. The method says an assertion is valid - and will be universally accepted - only if it can be reproduced by others, and thereby independently verified. The impersonal rigor of the method has produced enormously powerful results for 400 years. The scientific method is utterly apolitical.

It’s verifiable whether you know the experimenter, or whether you don’t.” IfsMeanYoungBlackWhiteResultsStudyAcceptanceFemaleUniversalMethodMalesMeritInquiryAssertionRigorBlack Or WhiteApolitical Author:Michael Crichton
