Quotes About Science

Instead of injecting a weakened or partial version of the dangerous virus into humans, these new vaccines deliver a gene or piece of genetic coding that will guide human cells to produce, on their own, components of the virus.

The situation may be expressed by an image: science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

His fingerprints are all over today's technologies. Photoelectric cells and lasers, nuclear power and fiber optics, space travel, and even semiconductors all trace back to his theories.

She had succeeded where the other technician had failed. "It was an incredible moment, and it made me think I could do science.

Mojica was driving home from his lab one evening when he came up with the name CRISPR, for "clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats.

Einstein's 1905 burst of creativity was astonishing. He had devised a revolutionary quantum theory of light, helped prove the existence of atoms, explained Brownian motion, upended the concept of space and time, and produced what would become science's best known equation.

I hope that some day scientists can be considered heroes again, instead of Paris Hilton.

Another way to describe the Second Law is in terms of entropy, the degree of disorder and randomness in a system. Any spontaneous process tends to increase the entropy of a system.

De hecho, fue precisamente por descubrir la ley del efecto fotoeléctrico por lo que se concedería a Einstein su único premio Nobel.

RNA, on the other hand, actually goes out and does real work. Instead of just sitting at home curating information, it makes real products, such as proteins.

But she became more interested in DNA's less-celebrated sibling, RNA. It's the molecule that actually does the work in a cell by copying some of the instructions coded by the DNA and using them to build proteins.

Einstein creía que existía una realidad armónica tras las leyes del universo y que el objetivo de la ciencia era descubrirla.

The easiest of these viruses to study are the ones that attack bacteria, and they were dubbed (remember the term, for it will reappear when we discuss the discovery of CRISPR) "phages," which was short for "bacteriophages," meaning bacteria-eaters.

Harvard professor I. Bernard Cohen has pronounced, "Franklin's law of conservation of charge must be considered to be of the same fundamental importance to physical science as Newton's law of conservation of momentum.

His head-snapping insight was that gravity could be defined as the curvature of spacetime, and thus it could be represented by a metric tensor.

Algunas teorías científicas dependen primordialmente de la inducción, es decir, de analizar un montón de hallazgos experimentales y luego encontrar teorías que expliquen las pautas empíricas.

The main lesson of thirty-five years of AI research is that the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard," according to Steven Pinker, the Harvard cognitive scientist.

Podía construir ecuaciones complejas, pero lo más importante era que sabía que las matemáticas constituyen el lenguaje que usa la naturaleza para describir sus maravillas

Indeed, most of their letters mixed romantic effusions with scientific enthusiasms, often with an emphasis on the latter.

Electrical fluid is attracted by points. We do not know whether this property is in lightning. But since they agree in all particulars wherein we can already compare them, is it not probable they agree likewise in this?" To which he added a momentous rallying cry: "Let the experiment be made.

Math was nature's playbook.

These revolutions arose from the discovery, beginning just over a century ago, of the three fundamental kernels of our existence: the atom, the bit, and the gene.

Talmud brought him science books, including a popular illustrated series called People's Books on Natural Science

medical indicators, monitor our health conditions on our phones, and share the data with doctors and researchers. Doudna added that the pandemic had accelerated the convergence of science with other fields. "The engagement of non-scientists in our work will help achieve an incredibly interesting biotechnology revolution," she predicted. This was molecular biology's moment.
