A little later, persecution of the Jews was once again the law - four of Freud's five sisters died in concentration camps, although not by burning. It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.
To define what I mean, I might have said to him, "Listen, I mean that from my knowledge of the world that I see around me, I think that it is much more likely that the reports of flying saucers are the results of the known irrational characteristics of terrestrial intelligence than of the unknown rational efforts of extra-terrestrial intelligence.
That is all. Richard Feynman. Video of lecture. David Dunning - explaining the Dunning-Kruger effect. Treat beliefs not as sacred possessions to be guarded but rather as testable hypotheses to be discarded when the evidence mounts against them. Philip Tetlock. Squatting in between those on the side of reason and evidence and those worshipping superstition and myth is not a better place. PZ Myers. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.
But it does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. Imagine a world in which we are all enlightened by objective truths rather than offended by them.
Neil deGrasse Tyson. Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. Will Durant. You don't use science to show that you're right,. Randall Munroe. Just because science doesn't know everything doesn't mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.
Dara O'Briain. The basic trouble, you see, is that people think that "right" and "wrong" are absolute; that everything that isn't perfectly and completely right is totally and equally wrong. The Relativity of Wrong. There appears to be in mankind an unacceptable prejudice in favor of ancient customs and habitudes which allows practices to continue long after the circumstances, which formerly made them useful, cease to exist.
Benjamin Franklin. If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong,. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama. Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them;. Science doesn't make it impossible to believe in God. It just makes it possible to not believe in God. Steven Weinberg. There are no forbidden questions in science,. Carl Sagan. Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things.
But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. It is better to not understand something true, than to understand something false. Neils Bohr. God does not play dice with the universe. Albert Einstein. Stop telling God what to do with his dice. All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dose permits something not to be poisonous.
What is not true, as everyone knows, is always immensely more fascinating and satisfying to the vast majority of men than what is true. Every valuable human being must be a radical and a rebel, for what he must aim at is to make things better than they are. Niels Bohr. How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field. Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question.
Some subjects are so serious that one can only joke about them. I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions. Never memorize what you can look up in books. The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law.
For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in the United States is closely connected with this. But, on the off-chance that it is in another direction - a direction obvious from an unfashionable view of field theory - who will find it?
Only someone who has sacrificed himself by teaching himself quantum electrodynamics from a peculiar and unusual point of view; one that he may have to invent for himself. I say sacrificed himself because he most likely will get nothing from it, because the truth may lie in another direction, perhaps even the fashionable one.
So we really ought to look into theories that don't work, and science that isn't science. I call these things cargo cult science, because they follow all the apparent precepts and forms of scientific investigation, but they're missing something essential, because the planes don't land. If you've made up your mind to test a theory, or you want to explain some idea, you should always decide to publish it whichever way it comes out. If we only publish results of a certain kind, we can make the argument look good.
We must publish both kinds of results. If a reasonable launch schedule is to be maintained, engineering often cannot be done fast enough to keep up with the expectations of originally conservative certification criteria designed to guarantee a very safe vehicle.
In these situations, subtly, and often with apparently logical arguments, the criteria are altered so that flights may still be certified in time. They therefore fly in a relatively unsafe condition, with a chance of failure of the order of a percent it is difficult to be more accurate. Official management, on the other hand, claims to believe the probability of failure is a thousand times less. One reason for this may be an attempt to assure the government of NASA perfection and success in order to ensure the supply of funds.
The other may be that they sincerely believed it to be true, demonstrating an almost incredible lack of communication between themselves and their working engineers. For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled. Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool. Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation Learn from science that you must doubt the experts.
As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way:. Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty. Some people say, "How can you live without knowing?
I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know. I don't know anything, but I do know that everything is interesting if you go into it deeply enough. So, to test the prevailing intellectual standards, I decided to try a modest though admittedly uncontrolled experiment: Would a leading North American journal of cultural studies. The answer, unfortunately, is yes. Medicine is a science of uncertainty and an art of probability. William Osler.
Common sense in matters medical is rare, and is usually in inverse ratio to the degree of education. The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism. The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature which distinguishes man from animals. One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine. In the fields of observation chance favors only the prepared mind. Date Initiated by Firm June 22, K K BagEasy manual resuscitation devices are used for patients requiring complete or intermittent ventilatory support.
