  Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

A vital treatise for succeeding generations, the Opticorum is of importance to the history of science for its clear explication of orthographic, stereographic, and scenographic projections ­ intended for an audience of cosmographers, astronomers, navigators, military leaders, engravers, and painters.
The rise of the exact sciences occurred in the context of the growth and consolidation of states in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
A major feature of eighteenth-century science was the attempt to systematize the various results of research and to make that system philosophically attractive.

In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).
In 1742, Jean Le Rond D'Alembert introduced the principle which permitted the reduction of a problem in dynamics to one in statics: Kinetic equilibrium is obtained by inventing a fictional force equal in magnitude to the body in question and opposite in acceleration.

 What Science Is   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Philosopher of science Karl Popper (Austrian, British, 1902-1994) proposed that a scientific model is falsifiable: that it admits disproof.
I go further: the entire content of science is false: models synopsize current available observations; scientists will make new observations in the future, some will notice similarities between previously-unrelated models that inspire them to propose more comprehensive models, some will find simpler and/or more apprehensable models that synopsize those observations.
Note that medicine and engineering are not sciences: they consist of applications of current technology to treat diseases and build bridges (etc.), not the collection of observations to test or improve models or propose new models, though some physicians and engineers may also do science.

The stated purpose of the Ministerial Conference was "to discuss the critical role science and technology can play in raising agricultural productivity in developing countries in an environmentally sustainable way." Yet, there were no USDA staff exhibiting from any of the various organic or sustainable agriculture marketing or technology programs that we could find.
To address the conference theme of "Science and Technology," we put into everyone's hand we could copies of last year's Science report on a 21-year field trial study comparing biodynamic, organic and conventional farming systems.
We also enclosed a sheet on which we cited John Reganold's 1993 Science paper comparing biodynamic and conventional farms and listed major internet resources, books, and Biodynamic research institutes; a sheet listing international advisors and the countries in which they have worked; and a sheet on the Sekem Group of enterprises.
