	Kenneth Boulding : General Systems Theory (1956)
		Science, that is to say, is what can be talked about profitably by scientists in their role as scientists.
		The more science breaks into sub-groups, and the less communication is possible among the disciplines, however, the greater chance there is that the total growth of knowledge is being slowed down by the loss of relevant communications.
		There is hardly a science in which the growth phenomenon does not have some importance, and though there is a great difference in complexity between the growth of crystals, embryos, and societies, many of the principles and concepts which are important at the lower levels are also illuminating at higher levels.

	Cognitive Science (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of mind and intelligence, embracing philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology.
		Cognitive science is becoming increasingly aware of the need to view the operations of mind in particular physical and social environments.
		Although the computational-representational approach to cognitive science has been successful in explaining many aspects of human problem solving, learning, and language use, some philosophical critics such as Hubert Dreyfus (1992) and John Searle (1992) have claimed that this approach is fundamentally mistaken.

	Thomas Kuhn
		Instead, science is "a series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions" [Nicholas Wade, writing for Science], which he described as "the tradition-shattering complements to the tradition-bound activity of normal science." After such revolutions, "one conceptual world view is replaced by another" [Wade].
		During periods of normal science, the primary task of scientists is to bring the accepted theory and fact into closer agreement.
		Kuhn suggested that questions about whether a discipline is or is not a science can be answered only when members of a scholarly community who doubt their status achieve consensus about their past and present accomplishments.

	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.
		Poetry is opposed to science, and prose to meter.

		Frederick Reines made the first experimental detection of the elementary particle, the neutrino, and 1956 is seen as the beginning of the nuclear power revolution.
		We have all kinds of very accurate proof...at least it gave the impression that it worked very well, and of course unless you are very peculiar you wouldn't try to deviate from this line.
		In April 1956, in a surprise move to ease Cold War tensions, the Russians sent a warship carrying a top-level delegation to Britain.

	50 years for Education p.204
		The quarterly review Impact of Science on Society (4) was initiated in 1950 to discuss the effects of scientific developments on modern society.
		Science education had become an important area of co-operation with the newly-independent and developing countries, many of which established their own agencies for curriculum development, for example, the Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Sciences and Technology in Thailand.
		From the beginning of the 1980s, emphasis was placed on the application of science and technology education to the needs of daily life and the development of society.

	Freud and Science
		The related truths which they will progressively uncover through their work are their responsibility, even as it is their responsibility to analyze their mistakes and to publicize their failures.
		This is the scientific method, and the record of science indicates that we can place our trust in it.
		But a smattering of knowledge is one thing; the whole grasp of a discipline is another; and the first, unless used with wisdom and tolerance, can be hurtful as well as beneficial.

	Defense Science Board - Links
		On December 31, 1956, a charter was issued specifying the Board as advisory to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Research and Development).

		The members are appointed for terms ranging from one to four years and are selected on the basis of their preeminence in the fields of science, technology and its application to military operations, research, engineering, manufacturing and acquisition process.

	Plant Science Bulletin 1956, Volume 2, Issue 4
		As botanists we are particularly interested in the teaching of our own science, and our concern with it is shown by the establishment of a section in our society to serve as a center for the discussion of teaching problems.
		While the personal traits and instructional procedures of these teachers were diverse, the combination of characteristics shared most generally were those in the complex designated by psychologists as the "father figure." In addition to performing well in the classroom, these professors appeared to take a warm, personal, almost paternal, interest in their students.
		The National Science Foundation has recently made a grant to Smith College to finance the assembling of the data on Datura genetics and related problems, and its publication in a mono- graph on Datura.

	James and Mendelsohn, Cambridge Companion to Science Fiction
		Acceding to the generally held view that the term genre mostly misses what science fiction is about, she calls it "an ongoing discussion," and later, a "mode of writing," which echoes the sentiments of a number of commentators.
		Attention is paid also to science fiction in film and television, a very different animal from that portrayed in literature, and, an area that is critically important, a look at the editors who have shaped the field.
		This is not to say that none of these schools has anything to say about science fiction -- quite the opposite is the case, actually, but one has to take their approaches with a grain of salt and a good awareness of what they are not addressing.

		Informed by his science and engineering background and suffused with his liberal optimism about man's destiny among the stars, Clarke's writings combine meticulous technical authenticity with an almost mystical vision of the future.
		The notion that mankind's further evolution is inextricably bound up with extraterrestrial contact is recurrent throughout his work.

	SF Citations for OED
		Fred Galvin submitted a 1956 cite from Roger De Soto in Amazing Stories which suggests that Sam Moskowitz originated the phrase in his columns in "fan-and-prozines"; we would like to see cites from his earlier columns.
		Science fiction exists to provide what Moskowitz and others call `the sense of wonder': some widening of the mind's horizons, no matter in what direction—the landscape of another planet, or a corpuscle's-eye view of an artery, or what it feels like to be in rapport with a cat.
		Much less postmodern in tone (although still able to generate a certain `sense of wonder') are the necroscopic brain-scans portrayed in much SF cinema and television of the latter 20th century.

	Albert Einstein "Religion and Science," 1956
		In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are capable of it.
		When one views the matter historically one is inclined to look upon science and religion as irreconcilable antagonists, and for a very obvious reason.
		The man who is thoroughly convinced of the universal operation of the law of causation cannot for a moment entertain the idea of a being who interferes in the course of events—that is, if he takes the hypothesis of causality really seriously.
