Deepak Chopra Quotes

Science is what scientists do.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

Science is nothing but perception.

Even today few scientists and perhaps even fewer nonscientists realize that science is a method and nothing else.

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.

I had learned that science is a rewarding, active process of discovery, not the passive absorption of what others had discovered.

There is a philosophy that says that if something is unobservable -- unobservable in principle -- it is not part of science. If there is no way to falsify or confirm a hypothesis, it belongs to the realm of metaphysical speculation, together with astrology and spiritualism. By that standard, most of the universe has no scientific reality -- it's just a figment of our imaginations.

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.

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

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