absolute certainly given science spare
Given my absolute druthers, I would certainly like to see that every part of my body is used for spare parts for science.
audacious projects pure science
Moonshots live in that place between audacious projects and pure science fiction.
science intelligent winning
Building intelligent machines can teach us about our minds - about who we are - and those lessons will make our world a better place. To win that knowledge, though, our species will have to trade in another piece of its vanity.
education science men
In our educational institutions applied science may almost be described as a "no-man's land."
science technology today
Today's science is tomorrow's technology.
jobs responsibility science
The scientist is not responsible for the laws of nature. It is his job to find out how these laws operate. It is the scientist's job to find the ways in which these laws can serve the human will. However, it is not the scientist's job to determine whether a hydrogen bomb should be constructed, whether it should be used, or how it should be used. This responsibility rests with the American people and with their chosen representatives.
stars taken science
There is a time for scientists and movie stars and those who have flown the atlantic to restrain their opinions lest they be taken more seriously than they should be.
science order simplicity
Science attempts to find logic and simplicity in nature. Mathematics attempts to establish order and simplicity in human thought.
mistake science genius
If there ever was a misnomer, it is "exact science." Science has always been full of mistakes. The present day is no exception. And our mistakes are good mistakes; they require a genius to correct. Of course, we do not see our own mistakes.
future science uncertainty-principle
One may say that predictions are dangerous particularly for the future. If the danger involved in a prediction is not incurred, no consequence follows and the uncertainty principle is not violated.
science fool-proof defeat
There's no system foolproof enough to defeat a sufficiently great fool.
believe science simple
A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.
science technology discovery
Today, nothing is unusual about a scientific discovery's being followed soon after by a technical application: The discovery of electrons led to electronics; fission led to nuclear energy. But before the 1880's, science played almost no role in the advances of technology. For example, James Watt developed the first efficient steam engine long before science established the equivalence between mechanical heat and energy.
confront conversation forced onstage shut
The silent thing onstage allows for a kind of intimacy that no conversation can have. If I just shut up, we're forced to look at each other and really confront that moment.
