Science Is A Tribute To What We

Ask An Impertinent Question And You Are On The Way To The Pertinent Answer.

We Are A Scientific Civilization. That Means A Civilization In Which Knowledge And Its Integrity Are Crucial. Science Is Only A Latin Word For Knowledge ... Knowledge Is Our Destiny.

It Is Often Said That The Progression From Simple To Complex Runs Counter To The Normal Statistics Of Chance That Are Formalized In The Second Law Of Thermodynamics. Strictly Speaking, We Could Avoid This Criticism Simply By Insisting That The Second Law Does Not Apply To Living Systems In The Environment In Which We Find Them. For The Second Law Applies Only When There Is No Overall Flow Of Energy Into Or Out Of A System, Whereas All Living Systems Are Sustained By A Net Inflow Of Energy.

To Me, Being An Intellectual Doesn't Mean Knowing About Intellectual Issues; It Means Taking Pleasure In Them.

Knowledge Is Not A Loose Leaf Notebook Of Facts.
