405 Scientists Quotes for You to Enjoy

I would support peaceful co-existence between religion and science because they concern different domains. Anyone who takes theology seriously knows that it's not a matter of using it to explain things that scientists are mystified by. Martin Rees

The Cern laboratory in Geneva was set up in 1955 to bring together European scientists who wished to pursue research into the nuclear and sub-nuclear world. Physicists then had greater clout than other scientists because the memory of their role in the Second World War was fresh in people's minds. Martin Rees

War Together Memory People World Research Other Minds Physicists Pursue Had Wished Geneva Greater Because Fresh Scientists Up Laboratory Than Role Clout Then Who European Nuclear Second Bring World War Set Second World War

Darwin and his successors taught us how our biosphere evolved, and thereby transformed our conception of humanity's place in nature. In the twenty-first century, space scientists are setting Darwin in a grander cosmic context - probing the origins of Earth, stars, atoms and the universe itself. Martin Rees

Nature Humanity Space Atoms Stars Universe Setting Our Earth Evolved Cosmic Darwin Conception How Context Scientists His Itself Taught Probing Place Transformed Grander Century Us Thereby Twenty-First Origins

The lives of those such as Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein are plainly of interest in their own right, as well as for the light they shed on the way these great scientists worked. But are 'routine' scientists as fascinating as their science? Here I have my doubts. Martin Rees

Great Science Light Own Way Those Charles Darwin Well Shed Scientists Einstein Interest Plainly Worked Doubts Fascinating Lives Routine Right Albert Albert Einstein Here

Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws. Martin Rees

Science Physics Complicated Made Atoms Own Birds Waves Everything Those Solved Seek Laws Tropical Could Concepts Quantum Equations Quantum Physics Scientists However Forests Offer Autonomous Breaking Even Each Enlightenment

The scientists who attack mainstream religion, rather than striving for peaceful coexistence with it, damage science, and also weaken the fight against fundamentalism. Martin Rees

Religion Science Fight Weaken Striving Rather Attack Mainstream Also Scientists Than Against Who Peaceful Coexistence Fundamentalism Damage

For the scientists, they're kind of puzzled and pleased that somebody finds their work interesting. It makes it fun for me. I feel like I've sort of turned over a stone that hasn't been turned over. Mary Roach

One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about. Michael Gove

Future Time Science People Problems Computer Science Past Young Think Changing Has-Been One Of The Problems About Something Computer Had Written Talking How Scientists Been Subject Fits Curriculum In The Past Experts Young People Should Coding Need

Scientists suggest that the link between consuming poultry and cancer spread may be due to carcinogens in cooked meat. For unknown reasons, these carcinogens build up more in the muscles of chickens and turkeys than in those of other animals. Michael Greger

Cancer Turkeys Animals Build Other Unknown Those More Poultry Consuming Between Spread Due Scientists Link Up Chickens Than May Cooked Meat Reasons Suggest Muscles

If you go back to the 17th century, scientists generally weren't rewarded much at all for sharing discoveries, and as a result, they conducted a lot of their research very, very secretively indeed. Michael Nielsen

You Result Research Back Indeed Generally Sharing Scientists Go Were Discoveries Lot Very Rewarded Century Much

Admittedly, the body of scientists, as a whole, does uphold the authority of science over the lay public. It controls thereby also the process by which young men are trained to become members of the scientific profession. Michael Polanyi

Science Men Become Young Members Admittedly Lay Over Also Scientific Does Scientists Trained Authority Uphold Controls Process Which Young Men Public Body Profession Thereby Whole

The first thing to make clear is that scientists, freely making their own choice of problems and pursuing them in the light of their own personal judgment, are in fact co-operating as members of a closely knit organization. Michael Polanyi

Light Problems Organization First Judgment Own Members Fact Pursuing Clear Knit Freely Make First Thing Making Scientists Personal Closely The First Thing In Fact Them Choice Thing

When religious believers invoke miracles and acts of creation ex nihilo, that is the end of the search for them, whereas for scientists, the identification of such mysteries is only the beginning. Science picks up where theology leaves off. Michael Shermer

Many climate scientists say their biggest fear is that warming could melt the Arctic permafrost - which stretches for thousands of miles across Alaska, Canada, and Siberia. Michael Specter

Fear Say Melt Thousands Arctic Could Climate Scientists Canada Biggest Which Warming Across Miles Many Alaska Siberia

Now, as the world's scientists focus with increasing intensity on transforming the genetic codes of every living creature into information that can be used to treat and ultimately prevent disease, Shenzhen is home to a different kind of factory: B.G.I., formerly called Beijing Genomics Institute, the world's largest genetic-research center. Michael Specter

Most reputable scientists agree that climate change is real and that the effects are likely to be bad. But nobody can say for sure exactly what 'bad' means. The safest and most equitable way out of this horrific mess is simple: cut fossil-fuel emissions. Michael Specter

Change Simple Way Say Out Bad Exactly Exactly What Horrific Emissions Nobody Most Likely Mess Safest Sure Climate Climate Change Equitable Real Scientists Effects Reputable Cut Means Agree

Some advice: keep the flame of curiosity and wonderment alive, even when studying for boring exams. That is the well from which we scientists draw our nourishment and energy. And also, learn the math. Math is the language of nature, so we have to learn this language. Michio Kaku

Nuclear scientists lost their innocence when we used the atom bomb for the very first time. So we could argue computer scientists lost their innocence in 2009 when we started using malware as an offensive attack weapon. Mikko Hypponen

The Nobel Prize is worth $1.5 million, but that's not the issue. Do the distinguished scientists who win the Nobel Prize need the money? Probably not. The honor is more important the money, and that's the case with the prize for African leadership as well. Mo Ibrahim
