“Historical science is not worse, more restricted, or less capable of achieving firm conclusions because experiment, prediction, and subsumption under invariant laws of nature do not represent its usual working methods. The sciences of history use a different mode of explanation, rooted in the comparative and observational richness in our data. We cannot see a past event directly, but science is usually based on inference, not unvarnished observation (you don't see electrons, gravity, or black holes either).” DifferentUsePastLawBlackAchieveEventsCapableMethodExperimentsHolesConclusionObservationDataFirmExplanationUsualGravityRootedPredictionsLaws Of NatureRichnessBlack HoleElectronsInferencePast Events Author:Stephen Jay Gould

“I think that you appreciate that there are extraordinary men and women and extraordinary moments when history leaps forward on the backs of these individuals, that what can be imagined can be achieved, that you must dare to dream, but that there's no substitute for perseverance and hard work and teamwork because no one gets there alone; and that, while we commemorate the... the greatness of these events and the individuals who achieve them, we cannot forget the sacrifice of those who make these achievements and leaps possible.” ThinkingMenHardMomentsDreamIndividualForgetSacrificeAchieveEventsGreatnessHard WorkAchievementMen And WomenAppreciateExtraordinaryPerseveranceDareLeapSubstitutesTeamworkDare To DreamX FilesPerseverance And Hard WorkExtraordinary Moments Book:The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths, and the Movies Source: The Complete X-Files: Behind the Series, the Myths, and the Movies
