I'm a geophysicist and all my earth science books when I was a student I had to give the wrong answer to get an A. We used to ridicule continental drift. It was something we laughed at. We learned of Marshall Kay's geosynclinal cycle which is a bunch of crap.

I like science fiction and physics things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes and the various vortexes that create possibility and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man and that's why I'm attracted to it.

Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.

I didn't mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects but I think I was a pretty good student.

The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of physics have started moving and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science.

We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.

All science is either physics or stamp collecting.

I liked math - that was my favorite subject - and I was very interested in astronomy and in physical science.

The humanities need to be defended today against the encroachments of physical science as they once needed to be against the encroachment of theology.

Biology is now bigger than physics as measured by the size of budgets by the size of the workforce or by the output of major discoveries and biology is likely to remain the biggest part of science through the twenty-first century.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

In science 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.

I wanted to be a dancer my whole life. And when I gave it up to act I always had a really sad part of myself that missed it and missed performing and missed being physical in that way.

If you don't physically age gracefully it's a bit sad. I think Steven Tyler can get away anything because he still looks like he did in '73. Especially from row Z backwards in an arena. As long as the Stones keep their hair and don't get fat they'll get away with the wrinkles.

Apart from the fact that your physical ability starts to decline I also think someone in their fifties being childlike becomes a little sad. You've got to be careful.

Many people with physical disabilities have romantic lives and good marriages to partners who see past their disabilities and recognize all of the things they can do.

When I start to write words have become physical presence. It was to see if I could bring that private world to life that found its first expression through reading. I really dislike the romantic notion of the artist.

I believe acting is very physical and when you have to fight or do those kinds of things it takes a lot of respect not to allow yourself to go off and hurt yourself or someone else.

Of course Einstein was a very great scientist indeed and I have enormous respect for him and great admiration for the discoveries he made. But he was very committed to a view of the objectivity of the physical world.

A blank wall of social and professional antagonism faces the woman physician that forms a situation of singular and painful loneliness leaving her without support respect or professional counsel.

The point here is that physics followed the data where it seemed to lead even though some thought the model gave aid and comfort to religion.

Go beyond science into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.

He however who begins with Metaphysics will not only become confused in matters of religion but will fall into complete infidelity.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one's own religion.
