  Science Quotes - The Quotations Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stones, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before.
In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.

 Science Fiction as a Genre in Adolescent Literature
Science fiction is similar to fantasy in that it is set in worlds that generally do not correspond to present realities.
Science fiction differs, however, in that the future realities it presents are often based on extrapolation from current scientific principles.
As such, good science fiction with a conscience is going to promote new ways of looking at the human consequences and relation to things like industrialism, evolutionary theory, relativity, computers, the big ban, human presence on the moon and the possibility of alien intelligence.

Therefore, the prerequisites established for the science courses must be adhered to.
This course is the equivalent of a one-semester introductory college course in environmental science.
It is a rigorous, interdisciplinary science course that stresses scientific principles and analysis and includes a laboratory component.

 Science advice 'essential' to meet development goals - SciDev.Net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The purpose is "to illustrate how developing and developed countries have used science, technology, and innovation to achieve their development goals," he says.
The report argues that, science, technology, and innovation must be placed at the heart of the development process, and become the core of industrial, agricultural, and services policies, while explicit links need to be created between market and non-market institutions.
Topics that needed to be addressed include both the state of the scientific and technological infrastructure prior to the tsunami, and the role of science and technology in subsequent reconstruction efforts.

 Victorian Science & Religion
The way in which science and religion have been perceived in the twentieth century was heavily influenced by the writings of late nineteenth-century historians of science and religion, whose influence we have only recently begun to move beyond.
The rhetoric of this group of professionalisers, and their growing prominence within the sciences meant that by the 1870s and 1880s, 'the sciences' and 'religion' were increasingly seen as utterly separate and distinct.
Although the myth of the conflict of science and religion was by now well established, and few clergy attempted to maintain a reputation as scientific experts, it should be noted that plenty of individuals continued to have a Christian faith and to participate in the sciences.

 Chronology of Science in the United States
During this period, the most widespread teaching of science at the secondary level was in chemistry, natural philosophy, and astronomy.
George William Featherstonhaugh (1780-1866) became the first geologist in the employ of the United States government; he was engaged to examine the mineralogy and geology of the Ozark Mountains and later (1835) the Green Bay, Wisconsin area.
Robert Hare (1781-1858) was awarded the first Rumford Medal by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his 1801 invention of the oxyhydrogen blowpipe.

 In Search of Biosecurity -- Relman et al. 311 (5769): 1835 -- Science
As progress in life sciences research accelerates, it expands the scope of potential biological weapons, whose use for political purposes seems increasingly likely in a post-9/11 world.
The risk that knowledge emerging from life sciences research could be misused, either intentionally or otherwise, needs responsible attention.
Those working in the life sciences must gain a greater awareness of the potential threats and learn to recognize, discourage, and report misuse or irresponsible behavior.

In the case of Roser Pelló and Daniel Schaerer and their European team, the lens was cluster of galaxies named Abell 1835.
Astronomers are now getting closer to what they term as the "Dark Ages", the time in the Universe's history when hydrogen and helium atoms had formed but had yet to come together to form the first stars.

 TIMELINE 1910-1920 page of ULTIMATE SCIENCE FICTION WEB GUIDE
Techno-enthusiasts such as Hugo Gernsback spread the message of engineering and science, and hobbyists built and tinkered with radios as avidly as they would with personal computers six decades later, and the magazine was the medium for spreading that message.
The line between Fantasy and Science Fiction was blurred indeed; the term "science fiction" not having yet been invented.
Science projected the world to last for millions of years, but whether that future would be glorious or monstrous could not be determined.

 Science and Religion - Cambridge University Press
Science and Religion assesses the impact of social, political and intellectual change upon Anglican circles, with reference to Oxford University in the decades which followed the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars.
More particularly, the career of Baden Powell, father of the more famous founder of the Boy Scout movement, offers material for an important case-study in intellectual and political reorientation: his early militancy in right-wing Anglican movements slowly turned to a more tolerant attitude towards radical theological, philosophical and scientific trends.

 The Great Moon Hoax of 1835
It consisted of a series of articles, allegedly reprinted from the nonexistent Edinburgh Journal of Science, relating to the discovery of life on the moon by Sir John Herschel, eminent British astronomer, who some time before had gone to the Cape of Good Hope to try out a new type of powerful telescope.
So fascinating were the descriptions of trees and vegetation, oceans and beaches, bison and goats, cranes and pelicans that the whole town was talking even before the fourth installment appeared on August 28, 1835, with the master revelation of all: the discovery of furry, winged men resembling bats.
Contrary to this modern perception, life on the Moon was reported in August of 1835 in a series of sensational stories first published by the New York Sun - apparently intended to improve the paper's circulation.

 Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902)
Samuel Butler was the second child and first son of Thomas Butler (1806-86) and Fanny (neé Worsley, d.1873), born on 4 December 1835 at Langar Rectory in Nottinghamshire, where his father had his parish.
He came from a line of clerics -- his grandfather, also called Samuel, was Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry -- and a career in the church looked a likely prospect for the young Samuel.
