Some Informations Of Science-1

1-To know what we know and to know what we don't know- that is wisdom.
2-It is the faith of every one of us that the base of things we shall not find mere arbitrary mastery. The faith in the order of nature which has made possible the growth of science is a particular example of deeper faith.
3-Science will not exclude the possibility of authentic message from without. Cautious in accepting or rejecting theories within her own recognized she will even more cautious before rejecting, as well as before accepting, theories which relate to the vast region that lies as yet outside.
4-Thought itself is self-contradictory or inadequate. Thought is incapable of giving us the whole of reality. The 'that' exceeds the 'What' in Bradly's word. Thought gives us knowledge, and nor reality. What thought reveals is not opposed to reality but is revelatory of a part of it. The Partial Views are contradictory only because they are partial. They are true so far as they go, but they are not the whole truth. Reality can be apprehended by a form of felling or intutition.
5-It is when thought becomes perfected in intution that we catch the vision of the real.
6-Why who makes much of miracles? As to me I know nothing else but miracles. -Walt Whitman
7-Find something that isn't a miracle, you'll have cause to wonder then.
8-The question is: Which of these principle does Nature obey and the answer we have obtained so far is that the ultimate processes of Nature are not strictly determined. This theory has no difficulty in explaining the fact that in practice when we deal with appreciable lumbs of matter. Nature exhibts strict laws of cause and effect. For this apparent uniformity of nature is merely a statisitical effect. The idiosyncrasies of the individual electrons and atoms in any perceptible piece of matter cancel out, a sit were indeed on of the real tasks of Science at present it to deduce the laws that gives its ultimate contituents. The deduction can not be effected otherwise round. It is the electron that is the key to the universe.
9-We can never say that any theory is final or corresponds to absolute truth. Because at any moment new facts may be discovered and compel us to abandon it.
10-The supernatural of one generation is the natural of the next.
11-Indeed in so far as it accepts and emphasizes the principle of causality and in so far as it perceives that univers as we see it can not be self-caused, science leads inevitalby to the conclusion that there must be a casual factor, not comprised within out view of the universe. If this be Deity then science has made atheism impossible.
12-The eighteenth century opened with the quite confidence that at last nonsense had been got rid of. To-day we are at the opposite pole of thought. Heaven knows what secting nonsense may not to-morrow be demonstrated truth.
13-The Scientific theories to-day differ greatly from those of a century ago; no one doubts that the theories of a century hence are likely to differ greatly from thoes of to-day, how then can we put faith in any of them?
14-Science inspite of all practical benefits, had seemed to many thoughtful men, perheps to the majority to have darkened life.
15-True time implies the existence of a body at rest in space. Not only have we no means of discovery as to when a body is at rest in space, but there is every reason to suppose that the phrase is meaningles. On these grounds, Einstein, maintained that all time is 'local': there are as many local times as there are rockets or planets or stars, moving through space and none of them is more fundamental than any other.There is no standard time; all time is local.
