There is no doubt that parts of the world are getting warmer, but the warming is not global.

The great advances in science usually result from new tools rather than from new doctrines.

The ground of science was littered with the corpses of dead unified theories.

I think the fact that Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World and talked about anthrax bombs probably helped because at least we... people had the understanding before the war began that's something we didn't want to get into.

Science is not a collection of truths. It is a continuing exploration of mysteries.

Most of the crackpot papers which are submitted to The Physical Review are rejected, not because it is impossible to understand them, but because it is possible. Those which are impossible to understand are usually published. When the great innovation appears, it will almost certainly be in a muddled, incomplete and confusing form. To the discoverer himself it will be only half-understood; to everybody else it will be a mystery. For any speculation which does not at first glance look crazy, there is no hope.

If the tools are bad, nature's voice is muffled. If the tools are good, nature will give us a clear answer to a clear question.
