Quotes About Science

Talmud brought him science books, including a popular illustrated series called People's Books on Natural Science, "a work which I read with breathless attention," said Einstein.

We now have the power to control our genetic future, which is awesome and terrifying.

A person "at rest" on the equator is actually spinning with the earth's rotation at 1,040 miles per hour and orbiting with the earth around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour.

In fact, it was specifically for discovering the law of the photoelectric effect that Einstein would win his only Nobel Prize.

His life was a constant quest for unifying theories.

Doudna wrote in a scholarly publication back in 2013, researchers hoped to find ways to use RNA interference to protect humans from infections.6 Two papers published in Science that year gave strong evidence that it might work. The hope then was that drugs based on RNA interference might someday be a good option for treating severe viral infections, including those from new coronaviruses

In the mid-1800s, Newtonian mechanics was joined by another great advance. The English experimenter Michael Faraday (1791–1867), the self-taught son of a blacksmith, discovered the properties of electrical and magnetic fields. He showed that an electric current produced magnetism, and then he showed that a changing magnetic field could produce an electric current. When a magnet is moved near a wire loop, or vice versa, an electric current is produced.

A decade after that, in 1915, he wrested from nature his crowning glory, one of the most beautiful theories in all of science, the general theory of relativity.

He named these "CRISPR-associated," or Cas, enzymes.

it folded and twisted, which would reveal how it interacted with other molecules.5

According to that theory, clocks in stronger gravitational fields run more slowly than those in weaker gravity.

The central idea of general relativity is that gravity arises from the curvature of spacetime

the sequence of letters in the DNA did not reveal how it worked; what was important was

phages," which was short for "bacteriophages," meaning bacteria-eaters.

En su madurez, Einstein creía más firmemente que había una realidad «objetiva» que existía con independencia de que nosotros pudiésemos observarla o no. La creencia en un mundo externo independiente de la persona que lo observaba —diría repetidamente— era la base de toda ciencia.

Her work also illustrates, as Leonardo da Vinci's did, that the key to innovation is connecting a curiosity about basic science to the practical work of devising tools that can be applied to our lives—moving discoveries from lab bench to bedside.

Como Spinoza, Einstein no creía en un Dios personal que interactuaba con el hombre. Pero sí creían ambos que había un diseño divino reflejado en las elegantes leyes que gobernaban el funcionamiento del universo.

Berg to discuss the advances that were being made in gene splicing and recombinant DNA. Berg described how difficult it was to do experiments in a biology lab, where it could take weeks

Many of the features we have taken for granted in thought and expression in literature, philosophy and science, and even in oral discourse among literates, are not directly native to human existence as such but have come into being because of the resources which the technology of writing makes available to human consciousness.

What distinguishes knowledge is not certainty but evidence.

The priest knows only one great danger: that is science
