Nikola Tesla Quotes

I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out.

From a long view of the history of mankind — seen from, say, ten thousand years from now, there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade.

Nobody ever told us all matter radiated. We just assumed it did.

There's no question that as science, knowledge and technology advance, that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there's no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics.

The increase of scientific knowledge lies not only in the occasional milestones of science, but in the efforts of the very large body of men who with love and devotion observe and study nature.

There is nothing inherently wrong about science.

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

One can not impede scientific progress.

In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.

The liberating force of scientific knowledge is objectively expressed in the great achievements of technology. Whoever possesses technology has power of the earth and men. As a result of this, hitherto unknown forms of inequality have arisen between those who possess knowledge and those who are simple users of technology.

If we choose to ignore science and refuse to fund important scientific research, we voluntarily cede our place as a world leader in innovation.

Without science, there would be no such hope.

Through the mythology of Einstein, the world blissfully regained the image of knowledge reduced to a formula.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

There is no doubt that I, also, had long been aware of the problem, i.e. producing X-ray interferences, before the inherent difficulties had finally been surmounted.

Science is the best idea humans have ever had. The more people who embrace that idea, the better.

The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.

Science is organized knowledge.

Science is a wonderful discipline, to which we are deeply indebted.

It is my deliberate opinion that the one essential requisite of human welfare in all ways is scientific knowledge of human nature.

People don't learn science in movies. You don't go to the movies thinking, 'I hope I learn some quantum mechanics this afternoon.' But on the other hand, movies are instrumental and influential in getting young people interested in science.

No one who has understood even a fraction of what science has told us about the universe can fail to be in awe of both the cosmos and of science.

Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it.

I get paid to do what I love. If you understand physics, the foundation of the atomic theory and relativity, you understand how the future is going to unfold. You understand what things are not possible. You understand why things work. I get paid to do what I love the most, and that is to work on the Unified Field Theory and to see the future.

There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end.
