In the material sciences these are and have been, and are most surely likely to continue to be heroic days. -- J. Robert Oppenheimer
We need to look at less obvious paths, things like the wind in the jet stream, which is very high up. The material science of what type of kite string you would need to connect up to that. That's still at the basic research level. -- Bill Gates
People once considered that religions were obsolete and that material science would solve all human problems. Then they have become disillusioned with materialism and machinery and have realized that spiritual sciences are also indispensable for human welfare. -- Dalai Lama
The world changes materially. Science makes advances in technology and understanding. But the world of humanity doesn't change. -- Pierre Schaeffer
Contemporary science is based on the philosophy of materialism, which claims that all reality is material or physical. -- Rupert Sheldrake
According to materialistic science, any memory requires a material substrate, such as the neuronal network in the brain or the DNA molecules of the genes. -- Stanislav Grof
Religion can have psychological and social roles, but in terms of really explaining how things work, science works differently. Science is based on material elements at the core. -- Lisa Randall
The first science fiction show on television was 'Tales Of Tomorrow' using scripts from the radio show 'X-1' which used stories from 'Galaxy Magazine' as its source material. -- David Gerrold
And as we continue to improve our understanding of the basic science on which applications increasingly depend, material benefits of this and other kinds are secured for the future. -- Henry Taube
Biologically inspired materials could revolutionize materials science. People looking at spider silk and abalone shells are looking for new ways to make materials better, cheaper, and with less toxic byproducts. -- Janine Benyus
Science, it is said, no doubt has ameliorated the material conditions of human life, but is powerless to solve those moral and philosophical questions that interest cultured people so deeply. -- Elie Metchnikoff
My fiction is reviewed by the mainstream press, by science fiction periodicals, romance magazines, small press publications and various other journals, including some usually devoted to archaeological and other science material. -- Jean M. Auel
Whenever I read a contemporary literary novel that describes the world we're living in, I wait for the science fiction tools to come out. Because they have to - the material demands it. -- William Gibson
As we gain more knowledge about materials and processes in the universe, that could open up benefits that we can't even imagine. But you have to be willing to fund science without knowledge of the benefits. -- Fred Kavli
Science is the greatest creative impulse of our time. It dominates the intellectual scene and forms our lives, not only in the material things which it has given us, but also in that it guides our spirit. -- Polykarp Kusch
The depressing thing about battery technology is that it gets better, but it gets better slowly. There are a whole bunch of problems in materials science and chemistry that come in trying to make existing batteries better. -- Nathan Myhrvold
People into hard sciences, neurophysiology, often ignore a core philosophical question: 'What is the relationship between our unique, inner experience of conscious awareness and material substance?' The answer is: We don't know, and some people are so terrified to say, 'I don't know.' -- Raymond Moody
Mining asteroids is a well-oiled trope of science-fiction. But someday, actually doing it will make economic sense. Many of the essential metals of our society, such as platinum, copper and zinc, are rapidly becoming scarce. The asteroids might offer a replacement supply, providing the materials our descendants will need for a high quality life. -- Seth Shostak
Our science fails to recognize those special properties of life that make it fundamental to material reality. This view of the world - biocentrism - revolves around the way a subjective experience, which we call consciousness, relates to a physical process. It is a vast mystery and one that I have pursued my entire life. -- Robert Lanza
Personally, I attach great importance to research in fundamental sciences because I believe that no applied or developmental research can do without basic research as the wellspring and driving force. But, in this world of ours, often because of material gains and immediate interests, it is easy to neglect basic research. This should be avoided. -- Wen Jiabao
Science is the disinterested search for the objective truth about the material world. -- Richard Dawkins
The unity of all science consists alone in its method, not in its material. -- Karl Pearson
No barrier stands between the material world of science and the sensibilities of the hunter and the poet, -- E. O. Wilson
There is always a pressure to separate the Bible from science and to separate the Christian religion from things material. -- Walter Lang
Without the dreamers who write science fiction and other imaginary material we'd still be sitting in caves ... if we weren't already extinct. -- William C. Samples
The essence of life, I concluded, did not lie in the material. It penetrated, but was not bound to, the physical world of science. -- Charles Lindbergh
When science is learned in love, and its powers are wielded by love, they will appear the supplements and continuations of the material creation. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Science is a matter of adjusting language to explain material reality. Art is a matter of adjusting material reality to create a sense of life. -- Walter Darby Bannard
Demon mean knowledge in Greek, especially about the material world. Science means knowledge in Latin. A jurisdictional dispute is exposed, even if we look no further -- Carl Sagan
Inequality may linger in the world of material things, but great music, great literature, great art and the wonders of science are, and should be, open to all. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt
Well-observed facts, though brought to light by passing theories, will never die; they are the material on which alone the house of science will at last be built. -- Claude Bernard
