Quotes About Experiment

Henry explained his experiment on the submarine, using the variolation procedure.

A real coin flipped by a real human trended closer to 51-49 in favor of whichever side was uppermost at the outset. No one could explain exactly why, but the phenomenon was easily observed in experiments. Something to do with multiple axes of spin, and wobble, and aerodynamics, and the general difference between theory and practice.

the same mathematics that describes drawing pebbles from an urn can be employed to describe any series of trials in which each trial has two possible outcomes, as long as those outcomes are random and the trials are independent of each other.

Let all the disciples of Aristotle…," he would write, "recognize that experiment is the true master who must be followed in Physics."6

So the relevant question is, if thousands of people are tossing coins once a year and have been doing so for decades, what are the chances that one of them, for some fifteen-year period, will toss all heads?

law of large numbers is employed because, as we've said, Bernoulli's theorem concerns the way results reflect underlying probabilities when we make a large number of observations.

The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own.

at any rate, there's no harm in trying.

Melakukan sesuatu yang baru mungkin bisa berakhir dengan kegagalan atau mungkin merupakan hal terbaik yang pernah kita lakukan - tetapi kita tidak akan pernah tahu bila tidak mencoba.

A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.

You make experiments and I make theories. Do you know the difference? A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it. { Remark to scientist Herman Francis Mark }

It is the theory which decides what can be observed

Development of Western science is based on two great achievements: the invention of the formal logical system (in Euclidean geometry) by the Greek philosophers, and the discovery of the possibility to find out causal relationships by systematic experiment (during the Renaissance). In my opinion, one has not to be astonished that the Chinese sages have not made these steps. The astonishing thing is that these discoveries were made at all.

The definition of insanity is doing the same experiment and expecting different results.

Tidak ada eksperimen yang bisa membuktikn aku benar, namun sebaliknya sebuah eksperimen saja bisa membuktikan aku salah.

Hmm, yes. Pig physics.

The scientific theorist is not to be envied. For Nature, or more precisely experiment, is an inexorable and not very friendly judge of his work. It never says Yes to a theory. In the most favorable cases it says Maybe, and in the great majority of cases simply No. If an experiment agrees with a theory it means for the latter Maybe, and if it does not agree it means No. Probably every theory will someday experience its No - most theories, soon after conception.

Szale?stwo: wykonywanie tej samej czynno?ci bez ko?ca i spodziewanie si?, ?e da to odmienne rezultaty.

Children?—that would be the most desperate experiment of all. The most desperate, and perhaps the only one having any chance of being successful.

Meaning?" Shane asked. "That I think it would be fun to put Brooke and Drake in a box and shake them up together to see what kind of noise they make," Michael suggested, giving in to his laughter.

Let's be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who

About 98% of the atoms in the human body are renewed each year. This surprising fact is discussed by Dr. Paul C. Aebersold of Oak Ridge in the latest Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Aebersold based his conclusion on experiments with radioisotopes, which trace the movements of chemical elements in and out of the body.

In 1944, an experiment was conducted that should have conclusively proven that DNA was actually the carrier of the genetic code, but these results were resisted and largely ignored. Scientists had convinced themselves that DNA was too simple to be the conductor of the orchestra, and clung to this belief. Again, once consensus is reached, it isn't easily overcome,
