“Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory.” ScienceValuesTheoryDefinedAccurateMechanicParticlesMomentumMeasurementQuantum Mechanics Book:The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. 3 for tablets Source: The Feynman Lectures on Physics, vol. 3 for tablets

“Disruptive technology is a theory. It says this will happen and this is why; it's a statement of cause and effect. In our teaching we have so exalted the virtues of data-driven decision making that in many ways we condemn managers only to be able to take action after the data is clear and the game is over. In many ways a good theory is more accurate than data. It allows you to see into the future more clearly.” WayHappensAbleActionGamesCausesDecisionTechnologyVirtueClearTeachingEffectsTheoryDrivenStatementsManagersDataDecision MakingAccurateCause And EffectExaltedDisruptive Author:Clayton Christensen
“I don't believe in the theory that the United States is reducing its presence in the Middle East. Quite the contrary, in the Gulf, we see an increase in American military presence, as well as an increase in American investments. The argument is more accurate when one says America is focusing more attention to the Far East. But I don't believe it comes at the expense of the Middle East.” BelieveWellsStatesAmericaUnitedAttentionUnited StatesMiddleMilitaryTheoryArgumentIncreaseInvestmentDon't BelieveEastContraryExpensesMiddle EastAccurateReducingAmerican MilitaryMilitary Presence Author:Adel al-Jubeir
“Karl Marx left it to others to find the way beyond capitalism to a higher form of society. He saw his role as giving them as accurate a theory as he could of how capitalism works, which would also show them the reasons why it needs to be abolished and replaced by a freer and more human form of society.” WayNeedsGivingHumansReasonShowsFormLeftRolesSawsTheoryHigherCapitalismReason WhyAccurateReplacedHuman Form Author:Allen W.
