"Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change. "

"To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit."

"It is not clear that intelligence has any long-term survival value."

"One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem."

All said by Stephen Hawkings :) MY HOME BOY

I love that last one.

Isn't it humorous? :)

We are all connected;To each other, biologically.To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically" deGrasse Tyson

"The cosmos is also within us
We're made of star stuff." Carl Sagan

"To make an Apple Pie from scratch, you first have to invent the Universe" Carl Sagan

Voting for the Sagan. Either one.

UGH Star stuff.

I kid, I don't know....

Damn, you took my joke XD

Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. ~Edwin Powell Hubble, The Nature of Science, 1954

Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

The scientist is not a person who gives the right answers, he's one who asks the right questions. ~Claude Lévi-Strauss, Le Cru et le cuit, 1964

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking. ~Albert Einstein

The scientist, by the very nature of his commitment, creates more and more questions, never fewer. Indeed the measure of our intellectual maturity, one philosopher suggests, is our capacity to feel less and less satisfied with our answers to better problems. ~G.W. Allport, Becoming, 1955

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”

“If we all did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.”

I give these the foxy stamp of approval. :Þ

"....why?" - Perennial Philosophical Question

“There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without.” - The king of Electrical Science, Nikola Tesla

Well, if were going to stick with physics, then I suggest either

the wave equation [∂²y(x,t)]/(∂x²) = (1/v²){[∂²y(x,t)]/(∂t²)}

or

position as a function of time

x= x₀+v₀t+(at^2)/2

Maybe this quote, "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed"

or perhaps a joke..

What did the bartender say to the neutron when he bought a drink?

"On the house, no charge"

Go to the next level:

"R_uv-R*g_uv/2+g_uv*L=8*pi*G*T_uv/c^4"

I love the Einstein field equation...

Or go celebretory:

"Science! It works."

Or the slightly more intense version:

"Science! It works bitches."

Or perhaps this:

"Pulling the world of furries together, for Science."

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This made a lot of people angry and has been widely regarded as a very bad move." Douglas Adams

You picked some good ones. Hopefully we can make room for them. :3

Can I give you the internet for this LOL

So now welcome our keynote speaker, Professor Melvin Fenwick - the man who, back in 1952, first coined the now-famous phrase: "Fools! I'll destroy them all!"
- The Mad Scientists Covention,"The Far Side"

Or perhaps just, "Fools! I'll destroy them all!"

The formula for thermal linear expansion:
L = Li*alpha*delta T is really Lithium-Jesus-deltaT.

"I'm sciencing as fast as I can!" - Professor Hubert J Farnsworth, ~3009

I know this isn't exactly relevant but I've been thinking about it for a while and this seems a good journal to do so. The quote at the bottom of the journals, "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson", is...well correct, and within context I know that Neil deGrasse Tyson was correct. But the problem I have with it is that it's not really a defining feature of science, and almost anything can be 'defended' with that sentence by substituting the word science for whatever you like. People who truly think that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow will argue that it doesn't matter whether we believe this, they know that it's true. As scientists, we only believe (or know) certain things are true (as far as our experiments can tell) because of our evidence, but people who don't believe in this evidence will find other explanations and claim that just because WE believe that OUR science is true, doesn't make it true, and that the true truth is theirs.

"I know that I know nothing" - Plato. Although that's more about philosophy and the quote doesn't really exist as such in his Socrates.

"Life finds a way" - Michael Crichton (through Ian Malcom)

The difference between what science claims and what other philosophies claim is that science uses logic, reason, experimentation, and observation to to support the claim. The claim itself is only held as long as there is evidence to support it. If new evidence comes in that disputes the claim then it is the claim that has to go. So in a way all science does is form an understanding of the natural world. But I'm certain that you already know all of this, I'm pretty much just posting in case someone else who is ignorant about how science works were to come across your post. :3

What I am basically trying to say is that with science, you show the evidence behind your reasoning and anyone should be able to reproduce the results. Other lines of though holds on to the claim despite any evidence that contradicts it. They are based on logical fallacies that are so intermingled that when one unravels the rest just falls apart. When you hold a world view like that and it is shattered it can take a long time to recover. That is probably why it can be so hard to reason with people that hold incorrect beliefs.

Nice quotes btw, I really like the second one. :Ð

I understand, and as I mentioned, I know what Neil deGrasse Tyson meant but that quote is often used to try and "convince" people that science is the correct method to understand the universe around us, as opposed to using hypothetheories (a term coined by Hank Green) that is, making up an explanation and then assuming it is true without looking for any evidence to prove or disprove it. People who don't understand how science works will not be convinced by the statement.

The second quote makes me think a lot because it has two sides to it. In the context of the book and film, it states that we can't expect to create dinosaurs and have them behave as we expect because nature is not always that predictable, particularly when it comes to organisms we have never had a chance to study in vivo. But it has an optimistic side to it, that no matter how much we mess up and even if we destroy ourselves, life will still go on: there are many species on Earth which would do just fine at high levels of radiation, or with extreme climates or polluted air/water. And there might even be life elsewhere in the universe, we don't know. But life will find a way, and will move on; we are by no means the centre of the universe, we're just insignificant, so our drama and struggle as a species is nothing compared to the vastness of known life, let alone life we haven't discovered.

Indubitably. :3
