“We are a way for the cosmos to understand itself.”
Carl Sagan
Observe. Question. Test. Correct. Repeat. The scientific method is how a curious species learned to read the universe. These are voices who said it best.
“We are a way for the cosmos to understand itself.”
Carl Sagan
Observation, reason, honesty and a habit of correcting itself. This is the scientific method, and the reason it keeps winning.
“Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.”
“The foremost character of science, to me, is intellectual honesty.”
“Science is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works.”
“Science is a self-correcting process.”
“Science is the desire to know causes.”
“Facts are not science, as the dictionary is not literature.”
“Science is a perpetual search for an intelligent and integrated comprehension of the world we live in.”
It feeds, heals, connects and equips us. Few human ideas have changed more lives, for more people, than this one.
“Science offers the possibility of far greater well-being for humanity than ever before.”
“Almost everything that distinguishes the world from earlier centuries is attributable to science.”
“Science is like a utility belt you wear. It prepares you to grapple with the world.”
“Science teaches us to go beyond ourselves.”
“Science teaches the value of rational thought as well as the importance of freedom of thought.”
“Today’s science fiction is tomorrow’s fact.”
The deepest answers are also the most beautiful. Science does not take the awe out of the world. It adds more.
“Science is the poetry of reality.”
“He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.”
“The brain can contemplate itself contemplating on the meaning of infinity.”
“Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding.”
From cells and circuits to the cosmos: one method, endless wonder. Come and talk about it over coffee.
