Quotes About Experiment

I'd like to make over Marilyn Manson and just dress him really normally to see what he looks like. That'd be really weird!

For all the farcical invoking of Blitz spirit, Brexit isn't merely an absurdist experiment in English nationalist nostalgia - it is the most audacious example yet of a futuristic Russian nationalism that seeks to divide and rule Europe.

As the Bank of England has noted, Brexit is a unique experiment in the reimposition of protectionist barriers to trade.

That's the nice thing about doing research. Whatever you do is novel, so you always have this sense of novelty, even if you are only using a new gadget.

You can model experiments on computers now and then execute them, and you don't actually need a fully stocked lab.

It is necessary to look at the results of observation objectively, because you, the experimenter, might like one result better than another.

In 1956 we observed the electron antineutrino.

The greenhouse effect is something you can observe experimentally - and most people have observed the greenhouse effect themselves, in greenhouses. Yes?

About 1930, our laboratory had obtained a large concave grating and set it up in a Runge-Paschen mounting.

It isn't obvious and it took us a while to demonstrate that we could actually design a machine that bends.

You deplore what I did, but you still want to know the results of my research.

Which one's in the main theater? I don't know. I just work here part-time to pay for my organic breathing lessons. Do you have any dice? I asked, and then realized I was going about this all wrong. This was quantum theory not Newtonian. It didn't matter which theater I chose or which seat I sat down in. This was a delayed-choice experiment and David was already in flight.

Even the real scientist works in the sense of wonder. The pity is, when he comes out of his laboratory he puts aside his wonder along with his apparatus, and tries to make it all perfectly didactic.

I have asked thousands of business people to smile at someone every hour of the day for a week and then come to class and talk about the results.

If you are satisfied with the results you are now getting, why change? If you are not satisfied, why not experiment?

This great contemporary psychologist has shown by experiments with animals and with humans that when criticism is minimized and praise emphasized, the good things people do will be reinforced and the poorer things will atrophy for lack of attention.

His lack of reverence for authority and his willingness to challenge received wisdom would lead him to craft an empirical approach for understanding nature that foreshadowed the scientific method developed more than a century later by Bacon and Galileo. His method was rooted in experiment, curiosity, and the ability to marvel at phenomena that the rest of us rarely pause to ponder after we've outgrown our wonder years.

unexpected results drove new theories.

Leonardo's optics experiments produced discoveries that would not be rediscovered for another century.23 In addition, they were important in honing his ability to match theory with experiment, and they became an underpinning of his studies on perspective.

Other than a little training in commercial math at what was known as an "abacus school," Leonardo was mainly self-taught. He often seemed defensive about being an "unlettered man," as he dubbed himself with some irony. But he also took pride that his lack of formal schooling led him to be a disciple of experience and experiment.

old physicist joke: they knew that the approach worked in practice, but could they make it work in theory?

Einstein's theory produced a law of the photoelectric effect that was experimentally testable: the energy of emitted electrons would depend on the frequency of the light according to a simple mathematical formula involving Planck's constant.

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.

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.
