Scientific Discovery Quotes

So the history of discovery, particularly cosmic discovery, but discovery in general, scientific discovery, is one where at any given moment, there’s a frontier. And there tends to be an urge for people, especially religious people, to assert that across that boundary, into the unknown, lies the handiwork of God. This shows up a lot Picture Quote #1

The discovery of HIV in 1983 and the proof that it was the cause of AIDS in 1984 were the first major scientific breakthroughs that provided a specific target for blood-screening tests and opened the doorway to the development of antiretroviral medications Picture Quote #1

[Science fiction is] a specialized type of fantasy, in which the prime assumption usually is a new scientific discovery or invention Picture Quote #1

My three years at the NIH were critical in my scientific education. I learned an immense amount about the research process: developing assays, purifying macromolecules, documenting a discovery by many approaches, and writing clear manuscripts describing what is known and what remains to be investigated Picture Quote #1

Observation is the generative act in scientific discovery. For all its aberrations, the evidence of the senses is essentially to be relied upon provided we observe nature as a child does, without prejudices and preconceptions, but with that clear and candid vision which adults lose and scientists must strive to regain Picture Quote #1

If scientific discovery has not been an unalloyed blessing, if it has conferred on mankind the power not only to create but also to annihilate, it has at the same time provided humanity with a supreme challenge and a supreme testing Picture Quote #1

A scientific discovery is also a religious discovery. There is no conflict between science and religion. Our knowledge of God is made larger with every discovery we make about the world Picture Quote #1

I had fallen in love with a young man..., and we were planning to get married. And then he died of subacute bacterial endocarditis... Two years later with the advent of penicillin, he would have been saved. It reinforced in my mind the importance of scientific discovery Picture Quote #1

Science for me is very close to art. Scientific discovery is an irrational act. It’s an intuition which turns out to be reality at the end of it-and I see no difference between a scientist developing a marvellous discovery and an artist making a painting Picture Quote #1

I abhor vivisection with my whole soul. All the scientific discoveries stained with innocent blood I count as of no consequence Picture Quote #1

Another cause of change, one less noticeable but fundamental, is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission to study this question Picture Quote #1

This is the greatest discovery of the scientific enterprise: You take hydrogen gas, and you leave it alone, and it turns into rosebushes, giraffes, and humans Picture Quote #1

Time is the best appraiser of scientific work, and I am aware that an industrial discovery rarely produces all its fruit in the hands of its first inventor Picture Quote #1

For more than 200 years, materialists have promised that science will eventually explain everything in terms of physics and chemistry. Believers are sustained by the faith that scientific discoveries will justify their beliefs Picture Quote #1

From laboratories employing complex apparatus, poetry often emerges into the outside world after a long lapse of time, just as some scientific discoveries become common property only after they have entered the blood stream of the generations Picture Quote #1

Scientific discovery may not be better than sex, but the satisfaction lasts longer Picture Quote #1

$It is clear that while science provides insights into the complexity of the world around us, those insights... present a fractured mosaic rather than a seamless whole. There are profound limits to science that must be recognized if we are to minimize the destructive consequences of using the powers provided by scientific discovery Picture Quote #1$

Just as a new scientific discovery manifests sometimes that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words Picture Quote #1

The basis for poetry and scientific discovery is the ability to comprehend the unlike in the like and the like in the unlike Picture Quote #1

There is probably nothing more sublime than discontent transmuted into a work of art, a scientific discovery, and so on Picture Quote #1

There are three stages in scientific discovery. First, people deny that it is true, then they deny that it is important; finally they credit the wrong person Picture Quote #1

As the Nation’s primary supporter of research in the physical sciences, the DOE Office of Science led the way in creating a unique system of large-scale, specialized, often one-of-a-kind facilities for scientific discovery Picture Quote #1

The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not television, or radio, but rather the complexity of the land organism Picture Quote #1

The scientific discovery appears first as the hypothesis of an analogy; and science tends to become independent of the hypothesis Picture Quote #1

It is possible that a scientific discovery will be made that humans will later regret because it has awful consequences. The problem is, we probably would not know in advance and, once the discovery is made, it cannot be undiscovered Picture Quote #1

Chance... in the accommodation peculiar to sensorimotor intelligence, plays the same role as in scientific discovery. It is only useful to the genius and its revelations remain meaningless to the unskilled Picture Quote #1

Scientific discovery consists in the interpretation for our own convenience of a system of existence which has been made with no eye to our convenience at all Picture Quote #1

We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must be done for itself, for the beauty of science, and then there is always the chance that a scientific discovery may become like the radium a benefit for mankind Picture Quote #1
