Stephen Hawking Quotes

Science has fulfilled her function when she has ascertained and enunciated truth.

Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.

Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.

Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.

Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.

Great scientific contributions have been techniques.

Science by itself is about numbers, and it's about measuring things. It's very important but it's very dry.

Science is not a thing. It's a verb. It's a way of thinking about things. It's a way of looking for natural explanations for all phenomena.

Every science consists in the coordination of facts; if the different observations were entirely isolated, there would be no science.

With science, there is this culture of experimentation, and most of the time, those experiments fail.

In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.

Science is a self-sufficient activity.

Science is what scientists do.

Science is not, despite how it is often portrayed, about absolute truths. It is about developing an understanding of the world, making predictions, and then testing these predictions.

Science is the systematic classification of experience.

Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.

Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science.

There are an infinite number of boring things to do in science.

A theory can be proved by experiment; but no path leads from experiment to the birth of a theory.

Science is curiosity, testing and experimenting.

Science may be described as the art of systematic over-simplification.

Science always has its origin in the adaptation of thought to some definite field of experience.

My science teachers always encouraged their classes to 'go out and discover something' because all scientific endeavors depend on observation and experimentation. Through such pursuits, anyone can find something new to science, and if it's truly novel, the entire edifice of science might have to be restructured.

Science is nothing but perception.

A science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.
