The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. The reason is not political or economic but technological-technologies that flowed directly from advances in basic science. Clearly, no scientist better represents those advances than Albert Einstein: TIME's Person of the Century.
It is proper to the role of the scientist that he not merely find new truth and communicate it to his fellows, but that he teach, that he try to bring the most honest and intelligible account of new knowledge to all who will try to learn.
Teaming up with the scientists, researchers and computer programmers at Intel to collaborate and co-develop new ways to communicate, create, inform and entertain is going to be amazing.
What scientists are attached to is journeys into the unknown and discovering things that are completely unexpected and baffling and surprising.
Nonsense is nonsense even when spoken by world-famous scientists.
Those [scientists] who dislike entertaining contradictory thoughts are unlikely to enrich their science with new ideas.
The most remarkable discovery ever made by scientists was science itself.
Heidi Cullen had said that all of these local and cable weather forecasters who have been certified by the AMS, the American Meteorological Society, should be decertified if they refuse to accept the proven science of man-made global warming. There are numerous credible scientists, who have not been convinced that this is anything other than sunspot activity or normal cycles that the earth has gone through for billions and billions and billions and billions of years. Science can't prove man-made global warming, they simply can't, so they come up with this notion of consensus.
This is the miracle of life: that each person who heeds him or herself knows what no scientist can ever know: who he or she is.
By brain is meant, in the first instance, something more than the pink-grey jelly of the anatomist. It is, even to a scientist, the organ of imagination.
A scientist worthy of his name, about all a mathematician, experiences in his work the same impression as an artist; his pleasure is as great and of the same nature.
Only when the poet and the scientist work in unison will we have living experiences and knowledge of the marvels of the universe as they are being discovered.
Science is a set of rules that keep the scientists from lying to each other.
It may be hyperbolic to declare that Shakespeare teaches us more about being human than all the natural scientists combined.
You don't need to be a computer scientist to use a Windows Phone. I think you do to use an Android phone.
My father was a soil scientist with the Geological Survey.
The goal of scientists is you hope that the thing you're working on is bigger than the thing you're pipetting into that tube at the moment.
Scientists say an 8. 9 earthquake here could knock down buildings, flood coastal areas. . . and improve the roads.
Everybody doesn't want to have to be a computer scientist to protect themselves. Most people have no desire to do that.
Scientists derive satisfaction from figuring out the puzzle. It's about the quest, not the grail.
