Famous quotes containing the words search and/or space:

    To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.
    Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)

    Stars scribble on our eyes the frosty sagas,
    The gleaming cantos of unvanquished space . . .
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
