Charles H. Townes Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Charles H. Townes:

I was brought up as Christian, and while my ideas have changed, I have always felt myself religiously oriented.

One of the things my family taught me - I think very important in religion and science - is that you must be ready to stand up for what you think. Decide what you really think is best, and stick with it.

Charles H. Townes

The imposing edifice of science provides a challenging view of what can be achieved by the accumulation of many small efforts in a steady objective and dedicated search for truth.

Charles H. Townes

Much public thinking follows a rut. The same thing is true in science. People get stuck and don't look in other directions.

Charles H. Townes

I don't think that science is complete at all. We don't understand everything, and one can see, within science itself, there are many inconsistencies. We just have to accept that we don't understand.

Charles H. Townes

Science has faith. We make postulates. We can't prove those postulates, but we have faith in them.

Charles H. Townes

I was brought up as Christian, and while my ideas have changed, I have always felt myself religiously oriented.
