Arthur Lewis Quotes

Modern science is predicated on 'truths' verified through accurate observation and measurements of physical world phenomena.

Physics is not a religion. If it were, we’d have a much easier time raising money.

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.

Primary causes are unknown to us; but are subject to simple and constant laws, which may be discovered by observation, the study of them being the object of natural philosophy.

I thought I should study physics because it's fundamental to all science.

Typically in science, individual scientists make up their minds about scientific fact or theory one at a time. We don't take votes. We just don't vote on quantum mechanics, the theory of relativity, why the sky is blue, or anything else.

Science is methodology. As a belief system it's disastrous.

Physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate but routine.

I found it stimulating to study the sciences. It was a side of understanding the universe that I hadn't been exposed to.

I believe there are no questions that science can't answer about a physical universe.

As a boy, it was clear that my inclinations were toward the physical sciences. Mathematics, mechanics, and chemistry were among the fields that gave me a special satisfaction.

Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.

Science was something that really caught my attention. It was something I really could sink my teeth into.

Indeed, every true science has for its object the determination of certain phenomena by means of others, in accordance with the relations which exist between them.

When I was a student, the laws of physics were regarded as completely off limits. The job of the scientist, we were told, is to discover the laws and apply them, not inquire into their provenance.

Of course, Einstein was a very great scientist indeed, and I have enormous respect for him, and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world.

Science rules!

Hypotheses are what we lack the least.

We gain our ends only with the laws of nature; we control her only by understanding her laws.

People are saying I don't need science, I have everything, but everything is based on science.

The best scientific way to discover if one factor influences another is to do a controlled experiment.

Ever since the Enlightenment, people thought that we were living in a rational universe. They thought that God was a mathematician and that the function of the scientist was to figure out the mathematical rules whereby the universe was created.

Science's domain is the natural. If you want to understand the natural world and be sure you're not misleading yourself, science is the way to do it.

The paradigm of physics - with its interplay of data, theory and prediction - is the most powerful in science.
