“Tidak ada kesalah-pahaman mengenai ilmuwan yang lebih besar daripada k...” — Paul C.W. Davies Quote

“Tidak ada kesalah-pahaman mengenai ilmuwan yang lebih besar daripada kepercayaan yang berkembang bahwa mereka adalah individu-individu yang dingin, keras, dan tak berjiwa.”

“An eternal universe is incompatible with the continuing existence of irreversible physical processes.”

“Belief in a divine being who starts the universe off and then “sits back” to watch events unfold, taking no direct part in subsequent affairs, is known as “deism.” Here God’s nature is captured by the image of the perfect watchmaker, a sort of cosmic engineer, who designs and constructs a vast and elaborate mechanism and then sets it going.”

“At the heart of thermodynamics lies the second law, which forbids heat to flow spontaneously from cold to hot bodies, while allowing it to flow from hot to cold. This law is therefore not reversible: it imprints upon the universe an arrow of time, pointing the way of unidirectional change.”

“To conclude: time doesn’t pass. (I hope the reader is now convinced!)”

“Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression.”

“The ufo is nothing more than an assertion of herself by the Goddess into history, saying to science and paternalistically governed and driven organizations: You have gone far enough. We are going to turn the world upside down. Your science is going to be shown up for what it is, nothing more than a pleasant metaphor usefully extrapolated into the production of toys for healthy children. That's what science is good for.”

“The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.”

“It is our task, both in science and in society at large, to prove the conventional wisdom wrong and to make our unpredictable dreams come true”

“I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.”

“The classification of the constituents of a chaos, nothing less is here essayed.”
