Albert Einstein Quotes

Research is creating new knowledge.

I'm sort of an experimenter; I thought it'd be interesting to play around and see what's there.

Science should be the most fun job on the planet. You get to ask questions about the world around you and go out and seek the answers. Not to have fun doing that is crazy.

What is research but a blind date with knowledge?

Basic research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

It may be said "In research, if you know what you are doing, then you shouldn't be doing it." In a sense, if the answer turns out to be exactly what you expected, then you have learned nothing new, although you may have had your confidence increased somewhat.

Science is exploration. The fundamental nature of exploration is that we don't know what's there. We can guess and hope and aim to find out certain things, but we have to expect surprises.

I enjoy science, and I'm a very curious person. I always want to know the reason behind everything, big or small.

As I see it, whoever's doing the inventing is also doing most of the learning - and probably having most of the fun.

The thing I love about science is finding out something new and different.

The fundamental essence of science, which I think we've lost in our education system, is poking something with a stick and seeing what happens. Embrace that process of inquiry.

That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.

Science is about exploring the unknown and cannot offer guarantees.

In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.

We sort of think that science is about the known, but science is really about exploring the unknown.

Everything is an experiment.

I don't have any particular recipe. It is the reason why doing research is challenging as well as attractive. It is like being lost in a jungle and trying to use all the knowledge that you can gather to come up with some new tricks, and with some luck, you might find a way out.

If you're interested in something, do some more research and don't be afraid to ask questions. At the very worst you're going to know more than you did at the start of the day.

You always need to be curious and study.

Don't practise what you know - practise what you don't know.

If I experiment enough, I get a deeper understanding.

When I don't know the answer to something, I write a book about it because it gives me a chance to explore it and go to some people who do have the answers.

no knowledge obtained without risk

One of the greatest joys known to man is to take a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge.

The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.
