Top 5 quotes from Science

"Science is not about building a body of known 'facts'. It is a method for asking awkward questions and subjecting them to a reality-check, thus avoiding the human tendency to believe whatever makes us feel good."
"Nothing before had ever made me thoroughly realise, though I had read various scientific books, that science consists in grouping facts so that general laws or conclusions may be drawn from them."
"Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it."
"All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it."
"If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"
