Zitat des Tages über Wissenschaft / Science:
Blind faith, no matter how passionately expressed, will not suffice. Science for its part will test relentlessly every assumption about the human condition.

Science Fiction will never run out of things to wonder about until the human race ceases to use its brain.
The scientists who attack mainstream religion, rather than striving for peaceful coexistence with it, damage science, and also weaken the fight against fundamentalism.
My own writing has perhaps more of an American flavor than a British one, but that's because the stories I've so far written have needed it. 'Empire State,' 'Seven Wonders' and 'The Age Atomic' are all very place-centric, where the setting itself is almost a character.

Science or research is always under pressure to deliver something which can be used immediately for society.
The chief difficulty which prevents men of science from believing in divine as well as in nature Spirits is their materialism.
Science fiction is about extrapolation, looking back through history, spotting a trend, and predicting where it will go.
To be sure, the vast majority of people who are untrained can accept the results of science only on authority.
In the last fifty years science has advanced more than in the 2,000 previous years and given mankind greater powers over the forces of nature than the ancients ascribed to their gods.
Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.
I've always been interested in science fiction.
Any device in science is a window on to nature, and each new window contributes to the breadth of our view.
A lot of the shows that really become hit shows are often demonstrated, like Mystery Science Theater.
We need to be pro-science; we have to go back to science.
From my earliest acquaintance with the science of political economy, it has been evident to my mind that capital was the product of labor, and that therefore, in its best analysis there could be no natural conflict between capital and labor.
Sci-fi is just as much about social science as technology.
I'd like to put in a vote for the intrinsic fascination of science.

Whether or not evolution is compatible with faith, science and religion represent two extremely different worldviews, which, if they coexist at all, do so most uncomfortably.
Specialized meaninglessness has come to be regarded, in certain circles, as a kind of hallmark of true science.
Science fiction should not be dismissed as escapism. It is a profound vehicle for talking about social and political issues.

The capacity to be puzzled is the premise of all creation, be it in art or in science.
Dreaming in public is an important part of our job description, as science writers, but there are bad dreams as well as good dreams. We're dreamers, you see, but we're also realists, of a sort.
Wikipedia was a big help for science, especially science communication, and it shows no sign of diminishing in importance.
Any teaching of falsehoods in science classes should certainly be identified and stopped by school inspectors. School inspectors should be looking at science teachings to make sure they are evidence-based science.
