But the reason I call myself by my childhood name is to remind myself that a scientist must also be absolutely like a child. If he sees a thing, he must say that he sees it, whether it was what he thought he was going to see or not. See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise you will only see what you were expecting.
Douglas AdamsStichwörter: scientific-method
Everything must be taken into account. If the fact will not fit the theory---let the theory go.
Agatha ChristieStichwörter: logic scientific-method
If you've got the truth you can demonstrate it. Talking doesn't prove it.

The TV scientist who mutters sadly, "The experiment is a failure; we have failed to achieve what we had hoped for," is suffering mainly from a bad script writer. An experiment is never a failure solely because it fails to achieve predicted results. An experiment is a failure only when it also fails adequately to test the hypothesis in question, when the data it produces don't prove anything one way or another.

Herbert FeiglStichwörter: scientific-method scientism
So my antagonist said, "Is it impossible that there are flying saucers? Can you prove that it's impossible?" "No", I said, "I can't prove it's impossible. It's just very unlikely". At that he said, "You are very unscientific. If you can't prove it impossible then how can you say that it's unlikely?" But that is the way that is scientific. It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.

There’s nothing quite as frightening as someone who knows they are right.
Michael FaradayStichwörter: scientific-method zealotry certitude
There are two objectionable types of believers: those who believe the far-fetched, and those who believe that 'belief' must be discarded and replaced by the 'scientific method.' Between these two extremes there is enough scope for believing the reasonable and reasoning on sound beliefs.
Max BornStichwörter: science religion superstition scientific-method beliefs
Just because an idea is true doesn't mean it can be proved. And just because an idea can be proved doesn't mean it's true.
