There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now, All that remains is more and more precise measurement
There is so much left of it to explore.
The brain is one of the richest green fields of science. There's so much yet to be discovered.
The very nature of science is discoveries, and the best of those discoveries are the ones you don't expect.
Research sometimes feels like an ongoing TV series in which some amazing revelations have already been made, but there are still plenty of cliff-hangers and unresolved plotlines that you want to see resolved. But unlike TV, we have to do the work ourselves to figure out what happens next.
A discovery is generally an unforeseen relation not included in theory.
In completing one discovery we never fail to get an imperfect knowledge of others.
It's a blessing in a scientific career - the almost daily thrill of scientific discovery.
The first steps in the path of discovery, and the first approximate measures, are those which add most to the existing knowledge of mankind.
Every historian discloses a new horizon.
It is sometimes said that the major discoveries have already been made and that there is nothing important left to find. This attitude is altogether too pessimistic. There are plenty of ideas and plenty of things left to discover. The trick is to find the right path from one to the other.
We still don't understand how the big bang and evolving all the way to the human species and so on. So all of this is going to be a very, very exciting to the new people.
Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come . . . . Our universe is a sorry little affair unless it has in it something for every age to investigate.
It is the unknown that excites the ardor of scholars, who, in the known alone, would shrivel up with boredom.
The deeper I go into mythology, the more I find. I originally did five 'Percy Jackson' books. I thought that would cover Greek mythology and I couldn't have been more wrong. It's ever-expanding.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'
We are just in the kindergarten of uncovering things; there is no downcurve in science.
I find that when I come upon something that I think is a historical revelation, I have the sort of adrenaline rush that I imagine a gambler gets in Las Vegas when he hits the jackpot. It's still tremendously exciting to me, and I think all of my peers in the business feel the same way.
Priestley [said] that each discovery we make shows us many others that should be made.
The real prize is finding something new out there.
Regardless of what Einstein had come up with, it is very possible that a few hundred years into the future some scientist comes up with something that they have spotted in the universe that we have no idea exists today.
We found what we could at that time - the truth. If somebody else can find something else which we didn't find, that, of course, is a duty on their part, as is the truth. It will be the truth.
I think that many of my ideas are correct, but I'll bet you, before my death other discoveries will be made that will prompt me to alter various ideas I have about human evolution.
If you can find any other view of the world which agrees over the entire range where things have already been observed, but disagrees somewhere else, you have made a great discovery.
We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries.
