George Herbert Mead Quotes

Science is curiosity, testing and experimenting.

Reason and science allow us to properly think about the necessary data that are required in order to answer a given question. This is precisely why the scientific method is the most powerful framework for understanding the world.

There can be theory but, you know, the problem is you've got to be able to test it. So theories are one thing, testing is another.

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

Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly.

Science is facts.

In scientific work, those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact.

My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.

Well, it seems to me a scientist has need for both vision and confidence.

Science is not gadgetry.

Studies are studies. You get all kinds of studies.

I'm first and foremost a scientist.

But I think you can strip the emotion and the subjectivity away while you focus on doing the science - and that's really important.

The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.

Science is simply a powerful way of understanding what's real and what isn't, what's true and what's not. It can help us determine what works, what doesn't, for whom, and under what circumstances.

Scientific inquiry starts with observation. The more one can see, the more one can investigate.

Facts are not science - as the dictionary is not literature.

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 is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in.

Nothing you'll read as breaking news will ever hold a candle to the sheer beauty of settled science. Textbook science has carefully phrased explanations for new students, math derived step by step, plenty of experiments as illustration, and test problems.

A study, by its very nature, is an abstraction.

Science is a self-sufficient activity.

Science is knowledge arranged and classified according to truth, facts, and the general laws of nature.

When you come up with a theory, you fall in love with the beauty the simplicity and elegance of it. But then you have to get a sheet of paper and pencil and crack out all the details. Hundreds and hundreds of pages. Because you have to prove it.

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.
