Ask the right questions, and nature will open the doors to her secrets.
Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.
Prayers without accordant action are silent lies told to oneself, heard by no God, amounting to nothing. Action is the language of truth, the prayers of the Saints.
Writing my own novels in the ’90s…I never imagined that in ten years, science and rationality would require explanation and defense in a world rocked and ruled by religious fervor.
I am the master of my failure… If I never fail how will I ever learn.
I strongly believe that fundamental science cannot be driven by instructional, industrial and government or military pressures.
I mean, you could claim that anything’s real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody’s proved it doesn’t exist!
Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
The solutions all are simple…after you have arrived at them. But they’re simple only when you know already what they are.
