“The responsibility for the creation of new scientific knowledge - and for most of its application - rests on that small body of men and women who understand the fundamental laws of nature and are skilled in the techniques of scientific research. We shall have rapid or slow advance on any scientific frontier depending on the number of highly qualified and trained scientists exploring it.” MenBodyLawNumbersResponsibilityCreationResearchMen And WomenScientistFundamentalsTechniqueApplicationExploringRapidsQualifiedFrontiersLaws Of NatureScientific ResearchScientific Knowledge Author:Vannevar Bush

“The love of money is the root of all evil. That is the fundamental truth that I have verified through 3 decades of empirical, investigative, legal, academic research trying to answer some fundamental questions about human existence and why we behave the way we do, why we think the way we do, why we act the way we do...It is the love of money that has the potential to exterminate- to render extinct- the entire human race.” ThinkingWayTryingHumansEvilAnswersRaceExistenceResearchRootsFundamentalsDecadesHuman RaceBehaveAcademicHuman ExistenceLove Of MoneyMoney Is The Root Of All EvilAcademic Research Author:Michael Ruppert
“Recently, results of the Human Genome Project have shattered one of Science's fundamental core beliefs, the concept of genetic determinism. We have been led to believe that our genes determine the character of our lives, yet new research surprisingly reveals that it is the character of our lives that controls our genes. Rather than being victims of our heredity, we are actually masters of our genome.” BelieveHumansHas BeensCharacterBeliefResultsOur LivesMastersProjectsResearchConceptsVictimFundamentalsDetermineCoreGenesShatteredDeterminismHeredityGenomeCore BeliefsGenome ProjectHuman Genome Project Author:Bruce H.

“Our goal is to turn solar electric technologies into a commodity business like computer chips, and make them ubiquitous in the built environment. I'd couple this with a huge commitment to fundamental research in nanostructure to goose the next generation of more efficient, cheaper, dematerialized cells. And if I'm truly czar, I'd emphasize silicon technologies, as that approach is the one least likely to encounter material constraints in supplying an explosive global demand.” IfsTurnsNextGoalTechnologyEnvironmentGenerationsMaterialsHugeCoupleDemandComputerApproachResearchCommitmentBuiltFundamentalsCellsEncountersEfficientElectricCommodityChipsNext GenerationConstraintsCheaperGeeseExplosivesSiliconCzarsBuilt Environment Author:Denis Hayes
“HIV/AIDS from converted from a lethal disease into a chronic disease because basic scientists' fundamental research was done that illuminated aspects of that virus and allowed the generation of therapies like antiretroviral therapies.

“Research is fundamental; finding as much as you can and never giving up. I love the research. It is my "precise time". Not just for interviews but of footage, photographs never seen before. It is a painstaking process that satisfies me. The research never ends. I was still researching while I was promoting the Diana Vreeland book.

“I spent 20 years doing research on regular and irregular verbs, not because I'm an obsessive language lover but because it seemed to me that they tapped into a fundamental distinction in language processing, indeed in cognitive processing, between memory lookup and rule-driven computation.” YearsLanguageMemoriesLoversResearchFundamentalsDrivenDistinctionObsessiveVerbsCognitiveProcessingComputationIrregular Verbs Author:Steven Pinker
“Every scientist, through personal study and research, completes himself and his own humanity. ... Scientific research constitutes for you, as it does for many, the way for the personal encounter with truth, and perhaps the privileged place for the encounter itself with God, the Creator of heaven and earth. Science shines forth in all its value as a good capable of motivating our existence, as a great experience of freedom for truth, as a fundamental work of service.

“The research worker, in his efforts to express the fundamental laws of Nature in mathematical form, should strive mainly for mathematical beauty.

“Frequently, I have been asked if an experiment I have planned is pure or applied science; to me it is more important to know if the experiment will yield new and probably enduring knowledge about nature. If it is likely to yield such knowledge, it is, in my opinion, good fundamental research; and this is more important than whether the motivation is purely aesthetic satisfaction on the part of the experimenter on the one hand or the improvement of the stability of a high-power transistor on the other.” IfsKnowsHas BeensImportantHandsScienceMotivationOpinionKnowledgePureResearchImportanceFundamentalsEndureSatisfactionImprovementExperimentsYieldStabilityAestheticGood FunApplied ScienceTransistors Author:William Shockley
“I particularly remember the time I gave (the research director) my paper on the banking industry. I felt very proud of my work. However, he read through it and said, 'This is useless. What makes the stock go up and down?' That comment acted as a spur. Thereafter, I focused my analysis on seeking to identify the factors that were strongly correlated to a stock's price movement as opposed to looking at all the fundamentals. Frankly, even today, many analysts still don't know what makes their particular stocks go up and down.” KnowsSaidStillsTodayRememberFeltMovementParticularIndustryProudDirectorsPaperResearchFundamentalsSeekingFocusedFactorsUselessAnalysisCommentBankingUp And DownSpursAnalysts Author:Stanley Druckenmiller
