Zitat des Tages von Ivar Giaever:
If I have learned anything as a scientist, it is that one should not make things complicated when a simple explanation will do.
Science is to find something unknown, while invention is to make something new out of the known theory.
If you want to help Africa, you should help them out of poverty, not try to build solar cells and windmills.
There are just two things you can do to win a Nobel prize - have a good idea and pursue it effectively.
While classical mechanics correctly predicts the behavior of large objects such as tennis balls, to predict the behavior of small objects such as electrons, we must use quantum mechanics.
I don't really know what the future of science is. Maybe we have come to the end of science; maybe science is a finite field. The inventions resulting from this finite field, however, are boundless.
Global warming has become a new religion. We frequently hear about the number of scientists who support it. But the number is not important: only whether they are correct is important. We don't really know what the actual effect on the global temperature is. There are better ways to spend the money.
Understanding truth is the primary objective of science, not doing good for the world.
