Galileo Galilei
“See now the power of truth; the same experiment which at first glance seemed to show one thing, when more carefully examined, assures us of the contrary.” Galileo Galilei, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems
Carl Sagan
“The truth may be puzzling or counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held beliefs. Experiment is how we get a handle on it.” Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World
Stephen Hawking
“Any physical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis: you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experiments agree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the result will not...” Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time
Thomas Henry Huxley
“That a particular molecular motion does give rise to a state of consciousness is experimentally certain; but the how and why of the process are just as inexplicable as in the case of the communication of kinetic energy by impact.” Thomas Henry Huxley, The Advance of Science in the Last Half-Century
