  Science Quotes - The Quotations Page
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 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.

 A Last Foray into the Subject of Space   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In especially the science fantasy genre, a writer is free to experiment in the language – fanciful if not artistic – of “space.” “Time” as well is another example of a substantive to be used at the disposal and discretion of the writer.
When we encounter these words as being used in, say, a science fiction or fantasy novel, we have only to agree or disagree with the way or manner in which they are used.
In 1933, in Science and Sanity, Alfred Korzybski proposed that we should abolish the “is of identity” from the English language.

 Institute for Sexual Science, 1919-1933 - (informations)
The Institute's staff combined sexual science and sexual politics with a scientific method of argumentation, a strategy which, despite a plethora of actions and alliances, was to prove unsuccessful when it came to the decriminalization of same-sex sexual activities.
The Institute was vandalized, looted and shut down on 6 May 1933, its staff driven into exile and parts of the extensive library symbolically burnt on Berlin's Opernplatz.
The lay and professional associations for sexual science and sexual reform either ceased operations altogether or conformed to National Socialist gender ideology.

In a penetrating analysis of this science, Anne Harrington shows that in fact the story of holism in Germany is a politically heterogeneous story with multiple endings.

 Science Advisory Board, 1925-1941
The order authorized the SAB for a two- year period, during which time the NRC was granted the authority to appoint committees within the SAB to address scientific problems of the various government departments.
Unlike the Research Council, which had come to be organized around specific fields of science and technology, the SAB's organization was explicitly designed around its relationship with the government.
Accordingly, the SAB's first undertaking was a survey of the overall relationship between science and the government.

 King Kong (1933) - Movie Rental Review
Rating: NR for violence Studio: Turner Entertainment Directed By: Merian Cooper Cast: Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot, Robert Armstrong Running Time: 100 minutes Release Date: 01/03/1933 Genre: Science Fiction
Parents need to know about abundant violence, not only monster-on-monster fights (inevitably ending in death for one of the combatants), and also that many innocent bystanders are brutally killed, both in the jungle and in New York City.
Though it was remade in 2005 by director Peter Jackson with all the modern talent and special effects of the 21st century, the 1933 KING KONG moves at a lightning pace.
