Famous quotes containing the word science:

    “Science is a system of statements based on direct experience, and controlled by experimental verification. Verification in science is not, however, of single statements but of the entire system or a sub-system of such statements.”
    —Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970)

    “Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
    —Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)

    “Religions die when they are proved to be true. Science is the record of dead religions.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
