  1953 in science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carnap now emphasized the idea that progress in science depends on the gradual accumulation of many small results that support our understanding of the world, a view more in line with Wittgenstein's later philosophy and biological sciences.
As part of an extended series of publications on science, Pope Pius XII published "The Technician" which instructed scientists to restrict themselves to the study of physical matter and do nothing to undermine the idea of a non-material soul or a Superior Being.
Skinner published a book called Science and Human Behavior (ISBN 0029290406) which is still a controversial attempt to apply the results from behavioral studies of laboratory animals to human psychology.

His controversial 1954 book, The Christian View of Science and Scripture,marked the return of evangelical theology to a positive and scholarly assessment of science in relation to the Bible after a half century of neglect and conflict.
This critical evaluation of science is applied to the theory of evolution in Ramm's second contribution to the ASA, presented (in absentia) at the third ASA national convention at Calvin College in 1948.
First, science may so box itself in that the only way out is by an appeal to God, such as in trying to account for the richness of the activity of the mind, or if the period required for evolution is drastically limited by the age of the earth.

 YAM May 2002 - Designed for Science
As the University's science initiative gains momentum, barriers between departments and disciplines are crumbling.
Dedicated on October 26, the Class of 1954 Environmental Science Center (ESC), at the foot of Science Hill, provides a very physical taste of targeted academic enterprise.
The best work in the environmental sciences, said Levin in his speech at the dedication, is "inevitably and increasingly collaborative." The ESC, which represents the completion of the first phase of what is expected to be a 20-year-long building campaign in the Science Hill neighborhood, is a facility specifically designed to help collaborations happen.

 Science Fiction Weekly Interview
In Science Fiction 101, you write about your evolution as a writer from the time you were a child and your quest to find the secret to writing and selling science fiction.
My next assignment, since I had begun as a reader, as a lover of science fiction, was to write some science fiction that didn't simply pay the rent for me, but actually could earn me the respect of my colleagues in the professional writing world.
Always to read, not just science fiction, to be reminded what good writing is. To read a story that knocks you to your knees and then because you're a writer you say, "Why did it knock me to my knees?" To analyze what that story has done to you.

Science on our site is intended to inform, but more importantly to arouse curiosity, lead to questioning--and thus promote learning.
In science, as on our pages, explanations of phenomena are often referred to as "fact" but are really "theories" because, as we learn more and more about our world and beyond, new information tends to change or adjust our understanding of familiar "facts".

 NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR (1954 Television Drama / Science Fiction) -- Donald Pleasence
It is perhaps ironic that the very medium Orwell parodies in the novel itself became the vehicle by which it was conveyed to the masses, but Nineteen Eighty-Four became one of the landmarks of the monochrome television age.
The first version of the script, produced in late 1953, was written by Hugh Faulks, in consultation with Sonia Orwell herself, but when Cartier came aboard in January 1954 he demanded that Kneale be allowed to handle the adaptation.
The BFI investigated the possibility of releasing the 1954 Nineteen Eighty-Four as part of the 'Archive Television' DVD range in 2001, but were deterred from doing so by rights issues.

 Recursive Science Fiction Malzberg
(1954) was a science fiction writer eagerly seeking material amidst the invading Martians and fearful that distraction would slow the pulp mills.
It is possible that this self-referentiality is built into science fiction in a way which is extant in no other form; our reality is science fiction, the very process of entering Plato's Cave must be to make certain ragged connections between the assumed and the observed, often to neither advantage.
In the meantime, this bibliography can be seen as a laudable attempt to commemorate a stream in science fiction and fantasy which, however important from the outset, have not been rigorously aligned.

 Science Quotes and Sayings
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.  ~Henri Poincaré
The radical novelty of modern science lies precisely in the rejection of the belief, which is at the heart of all popular religion, that the forces which move the stars and atoms are contingent upon the preferences of the human heart.  ~Walter Lippmann
Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.  ~Henri Poincaré, Science and Hypothesis, 1905

 Oppenheimer on the Nature of Science: 1945-1954   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The purpose of this talk is two-fold: (1) to review Oppenheimer's views on the nature of science and its relations to society as developed between 1945 to 1954, and (2) with this review in mind, to provide some general guidelines for interpreting his views and works on the nature of science.
In the review, three topics are considered - science as community, the spiritual and material fruits of science, and complementarity of atomic physics.
In this talk, no attempt is made at criticizing Oppenheimer's views since the emphasis is more historical focusing on such issues as the development, reception, and influence of his ideas.

Both were products of the late Victorian education system in Britain and could conceivably have been influenced by Victorian thought which, in addition to its strict (though technically unoffical) social caste system, had a flair for the unusual.
Victorianism was filled with a fascination for the occult and the supernatural, and science was not insulated from this trend (witness the Henry Slade trial in 1877).
It is the aim of this ongoing project at St. Andrews to determine the influences and characterize the relations existing in and within these and related theories.
