The biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.

Doubt the conventional wisdom unless you can verify it with reason and experiment.

If you call failures experiments you can put them in your resume and claim them as achievements.

Heresies are experiments in man's unsatisfied search for truth.

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

I am told that there have been over the years a number of experiments taking place in places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology that have been entirely based on concepts raised by Star Trek.

I feel drawn to experiment with ways that technology can interact with notions of intimacy because so much of technology is done in a way that's very cold and has such an opposite effect.

The research rat of the future allows experimentation without manipulation of the real world. This is the cutting edge of modeling technology.

America is the most grandiose experiment the world has seen but I am afraid it is not going to be a success.

Of course not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments but for the people who are willing to go out and do that - if the experiments don't work then it means it's not science.

Science is defined in various ways but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental which is repeatable which can be predicted and which is falsifiable.

Science rests on reason and experiment and can meet an opponent with calmness but a belief is always sensitive.

I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. These experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. I think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality.

Experimentation is an active science.

In teaching man experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes like the objective reality of things will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations.

In the spirit of science there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.

Like many students I found the drudgery of real experiments and the slowness of progress a complete shock and at my low points I contemplated other alternative careers including study of the philosophy or sociology of science.

One of the nice things about science fiction is that it lets us carry out thought experiments.

Observation is a passive science experimentation an active science.

I have a Ph.D. in cell biology. And that's really manual labor. I mean experimental science you do it with your hands. So it's very different. You're out there in a lab cleaning test tubes and it just wasn't that fascinating.

Experimental science is fascinating but I don't want to do it. I want other people to do it and I'll read about it.

We've made science experiments of ourselves and our children.

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right a single experiment can prove me wrong.

It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence to avoid wasting time and labour and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible made us strictly observe all the precautions taken by surgeons in respect to their patients.

I wanted to show how a man of sensitive and noble character born for religion comes to throw off the orthodoxies of his day and moment and to go out into the wilderness where all is experiment and spiritual life begins again.

There is a great interest in comparative religion and a desire to understand faiths other than our own and even to experiment with exotic cults.

When you're young with less on the line it's easier to be audacious to experiment. So I introduced the concerns of my generation - politics sex drugs rock-and-roll etc. - to the comics page which for many years caused a rolling furor.

Until politics are a branch of science we shall do well to regard political and social reforms as experiments rather than short-cuts to the millennium.

For a poet to depict a poet in poetry is a hazardous experiment in regarding one's own trade a sense of humour and a little wholesome cynicism are not amiss.
