“If a tree falls in a forest, and no-one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?”
“Science is the observation of things possible, whether present or past; prescience is the knowledge of things which may come to pass, though but slowly.”
“First we have an observation, then we have numbers that we measure, then we have a law which summarizes all the numbers. But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.”
“Scientists believe that nature is orderly and measurable— that natural laws, such as the law of gravity, do not change with time, and that a natural event, or phenomenon,can be understood more fully through observation. Scientists use all of their senses in making observations.”
“Facts have to be discovered by observation, not by reasoning”
“The gap between our feelings and our social observation is dangerously wide.”
