  -Robert Lanza
• "I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. These experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point.

  -Iain Banks
• "Science fiction has its own history, its own legacy of what's been done, what's been superseded, what's so much part of the furniture it's practically part of the fabric now, what's become no more than a joke... and so on. It's just plain foolish, as well as comically arrogant, to ignore all this, to fail to do the most basic research.“

• "Of course, not everybody's willing to go out and do the experiments, but for the people who are willing to go out and do that, - if the experiments don't work, then it means it's not science.“
  
  -Seth Lloyd
• "Instead of having to be a member of the Royal Society to do science, the way you had to be in England in the 17th, 18th, centuries today pretty much anybody who wants to do it can, and the information that they need to do it is there.“
  
  -Seth Lloyd
• "In this time of budget cuts, we cannot forget that basic science is a building block for scientific innovation and economic growth in the information age.“
  
  -Tim Bishop
• "Nevertheless, as is a frequent occurrence in science, a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.“
  
  -Sidney Altman
• "When I was a kid, I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein,' 'The Creeping Unknown,' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet,' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies, generally.“
  
  -John Carpenter
• "Fracking is doable if there's full disclosure of all chemicals used. Secondly, science dictates the policy rather than politics. Third, there's collaboration between environmental groups and the natural gas industry.“
  
  -Bill Richardson
• "That the way to achieve higher standards of living for all is through science and technology, taking advantage of better tools, methods and organization.“
  
  -Charles E. Wilson
• "1988 I also received from the city of Vienna the cross of honour for art and science. These titles and the various honors mean a great deal to me, most of all for the reason that they would mean a great deal to my parents too.“
  
  -Leon Askin
• "I think Junior is certainly a science fiction premise as is Twins, as is Dave, beyond Ghostbusters.“
  
  -Ivan Reitman
• "I'd always been a science fiction enthusiast.“
  
  -Ivan Reitman
• "I've always been a fan of science fiction films, and I've never been able to put my particular spin on it.“
  
  -Ivan Reitman
• "Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself.“
  
  -David Hilbert
• "How thoroughly it is ingrained in mathematical science that every real advance goes hand in hand with the invention of sharper tools and simpler methods which, at the same time, assist in understanding earlier theories and in casting aside some more complicated developments.“
  
  -David Hilbert
• "The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science.“
  
  -David Hilbert
• "Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts.“
  
  -David Hilbert
• "I read Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Reader's Digest... I read some responsible journalism, and from that, I form my own opinions. I also happen to be intelligent, and I question everything.“
  
  -Gary Coleman
• "I'd always wanted the show to be more reality based science fiction, something along the lines of The Day the Earth Stood Still, which I consider to be the classic science fiction film.“
  
  -Gil Gerard
• "Math is sometimes called the science of patterns.“
  
  -Ronald Graham
• "I felt that chess... is a science in the form of a game... I consider myself a scientist. I wanted to be treated like a scientist.“
  
  -Bobby Fischer
• "I believe that science fiction is as profound as you want it to be or it can be very simple entertainment, and I'm all for very simple entertainment. Every now and then we all need to come home, veg-out, watch something and not think too deeply about it. It's what you want it to be. We tend to steer clear of being pedantic it's entertainment first, otherwise we'd be on a lecture circuit.“
  
  -Joe Flanigan
• "It does not just happen. It is disclosed by science that practically one-half of trained intellectual resources are being mobilized for murderous purposes.“
  
  -Alva Myrdal
• "There are so many stories to tell in the worlds of science fiction, the worlds of fantasy and horror that to confine yourself to even doing historical revisionist fiction, whatever you want to call it - mash-ups, gimmick lit, absurdist fiction - I don't know if I want to do that anymore.“
  
  -Seth Grahame-Smith
• "We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.“
  
  -Whitfield Diffie
• "If you publish a scientific paper it is very hard to start a nationwide debate about something. If you do this in a movie, you can start a debate. We like to create a bridge between those two worlds - film and science.“
  
  -Jose Padilha
• "So one reason the science educators panic at the first sign of public rebellion is that they fear exposure of the implicit religious content in what they are teaching.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson
• "As it turns out, what looks like science sometimes is not.“
  
  -Jose Padilha
• "Some theists in evolutionary science acquiesce to these tacit rules and retain a personal faith while accepting a thoroughly naturalistic picture of physical reality.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson
• "Science is based on the possibility of objectivity, on the possibility of different people checking out for themselves the observations made by others. Without that possibility, there is no empirical principle capable of deciding between different arguments and theories.“
  
  -Jose Padilha
• "In short, it is not that evolutionary naturalists have been less brazen than the scientific creationists in holding science hostage, but rather that they have been infinitely more effective in getting away with it.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson
• "Science by itself has no moral dimension. But it does seek to establish truth. And upon this truth morality can be built.“
  
  -William Masters
• "No doubt it is true that science cannot study God, but it hardly follows that God had to keep a safe distance from everything that scientists want to study.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson
• "The assumption that nature is all there is, and that nature has been governed by the same rules at all times and places, makes it possible for natural science to be confident that it can explain such things as how life began.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson
• "If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson
• "The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease, but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson
• "The monopoly of science in the realm of knowledge explains why evolutionary biologists do not find it meaningful to address the question whether the Darwinian theory is true.“
  
  -Phillip E. Johnson

  -Michael Shermer
• "We know evolution happened because innumerable bits of data from myriad fields of science conjoin to paint a rich portrait of life's pilgrimage.“
  
  -Michael Shermer
• "But the power of science lies in open publication, which, with the rise of the Internet, is no longer constrained by the price of paper.“
  
  -Michael Shermer
• "Rocket science has been mythologized all out of proportion to its true difficulty.“
  
  -John Carmack
• "There are relatively few science fiction or fantasy books with the main character being an old person.“

  -Anne Stevenson
• "One of my degrees was a science degree in biology.“
  
  -Elizabeth Moon
• "I was horrible at science and math. I couldn't pass a test to save my life! I'm surprised that it didn't take me until I was 20 to graduate. That's why my role is so cool - Grissom is the complete opposite of me.“
  
  -William Petersen
• "My personal feeling about science fiction is that it's always in some way connected to the real world, to our everyday world.“
  
  -Elizabeth Moon
• "We do a hard fantasy as well as hard science fiction, and I think I probably single-handedly recreated military science fiction. It was dead before I started working in it.“
  
  -Jerry Pournelle
• "It may be far in the future, but there's some kind of logical way to get from where we are to where the science fiction is.“
  
  -Elizabeth Moon
• "I started in this racket in the early '70s, and when I was president of the Science Fiction Writers of America, of which I was like the sixth president, I was the first one nobody ever heard of.“
  
  -Jerry Pournelle
• "All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.“
  
  -James C. Maxwell
• "In my family, as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up, science and mathematics were held in awe.“
  
  -Aravind Adiga
• "We've established a Washington State Academy of Sciences that will enable us to make decisions based on science about what is right for our state, meaning the quality of our lives will get better.“
  
  -Christine Gregoire
• "I was really bright as a kid and tested well, and it was clear that I was going to get scholarships to any schools I wanted. My dad always said I could be an engineer at that time it was the elite of society: steady job, working in science, which was then the answer to every problem we had. It was kind of a mandate. Kind of a dream he had for me.“
  
  -James Wood
• "I'm crazy about Grant: his character, his nature, his science in fighting and everything else. But I don't like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything, always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made, including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.“
  
  -Shelby Foote
• "If co-operation, is thus the lifeblood of science and technology, it is similarly vital to society as a whole.“
  
  -Arthur Holly Compton

  -Bruce Boxleitner
• "Human relations are built on feeling, not on reason or knowledge. And feeling is not an exact science like all spiritual qualities, it has the vagueness of greatness about it.“
  
  -Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr
• "Science, almost from its beginnings, has been truly international in character. National prejudices disappear completely in the scientist's search for truth.“
  
  -Irving Langmuir
• "If you look at the purported dangers of salt or fat, there is no consensus of support in scientific literature. So I would ask first: 'Is it possible to have an informed government that actually follows the science?' From what I've seen, it's not likely.“
  
  -Tim Ferriss
• "I do love science fiction, but it's not really a genre unto itself it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done, I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another, so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big, mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.“
  
  -Rian Johnson
• "A third ideal that has made its way in the modern world is reliance on reason, especially reason disciplined and enriched by modern science. An eternal basis of human intercommunication is reason.“
  
  -Emily Greene Balch
• "It is characteristic of science that the full explanations are often seized in their essence by the percipient scientist long in advance of any possible proof.“
  
  -John Desmond Bernal
• "The recognition of the art that informs all pure science need not mean the abandonment for it of all present art, rather it will mean the completion of the transformation of art that has already begun.“
  
  -John Desmond Bernal
• "The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part, but a critically important part, of economy and social development.“
  
  -John Desmond Bernal
• "We must always emphasize research and development of science and mathematics, and I can think of no better way to achieve this than through our future in space.“
  
  -Nick Lampson
• "Science fiction is no more written for scientists that ghost stories are written for ghosts.“
  
  -Brian Aldiss
• "I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn't sure of it.“
  
  -Diane Cilento
• "Whenever you deal with science fiction you are setting up a world of rules. I think you work hard to establish the rules. And you also have to work even harder to maintain those rules, and within that find excitement and unpredictability and all that stuff.“
