“Our schools offer no conception of the scientific process of discovery. They do not encourage creative thought, in fact, they stifle it through too much rigidity in teaching. If we set out to give as little help as possible to originality in science, we could hardly devise a better plan than our education system. Youngsters ought to be told what is unknown about ourselves and our universe as well as what is known.” IfsGivingWellsLittlesFactsHelpingSchoolUniverseProcessKnownCreativeToo MuchPlansTeachingIgnoranceOughtOffersDiscoveryConceptionOriginalityEducation SystemYoungstersRigidityCreative ThoughtLittle Help Author:William Lipscomb

“Human beings were not well served by permanence or stasis. Obviously, if individuals were progressing, they were undergoing a series of presumably desirable alterations, but in a universe where flux is fundamental, it can be argued that even change for the worse is preferable to no change at all.

“...it may be that there is no God, that the existence of all that is beautiful and in any sense good is but the accidental and ineffective byproduct of blindly swirling atoms, that we are alone in a world that cares nothing for us or for the values that we create and sustain - that we and they are here for a moment only, and gone, and that eventually there will be left no trace of us in the universe. A man may well believe that this dredful thing is true.

“I call worldly or earthly those whose minds and hearts are fixed on a tiny portion of this world they live in, which is our earth; who respect and love nothing beyond it: people as limited as what they call their property or their estate, which can be measured, whose acres can be counted, whose boundaries can be shown.” MenMindWellsHeartEarthValuesUniverseKnownLimitsAnd LoveSpotsFixedEstatesWell KnownWorldlyHeart And MindSmall PartsAcresCoarse Author:Jean de la Bruyere
“I suppose my interest in looking for life elsewhere in the universe really dates back to my teens. What teenager doesn't look up at the sky at night and think am I alone in the universe? Well most people get over it, but I never did and though I made a career more in physics and cosmology than astrobiology I've always had a soft spot for the subject of life because it does seem so mysterious.” PeopleThinkingWellsLooksDoeMadeSeemsNightUniverseInterestCareersSkySubjectsPhysicsSpotsMysteriousTeenagerLook UpOver ItElsewhereTeensGet OverCosmology Author:Paul Davies
“I think a scientist's job is to explore the Universe, to explore the cosmos around us. People always want to know - why is that useful?
