About scientists
Back in the mid-70s. it was admitted that 1 ruble invested in
production brings 40 kopecks. income, and for science - 1 rub. 20 kopecks.
M.Yu. Lebedinsky. Salvation in unification
Many young people are sure that the more expensive the equipment they use
use, the more significant their science. Some are sincere in this
believe, others pretend that the more money they spend
on installations, the more their superiors will respect their work.
D. Granin. Bison
I don’t remember such a case when a meeting brought at least
any benefit if more than five people participated.
Arthur Clarke. Dolphin Island
Since the motion attributed to the Earth, which I as
I consider the pious Catholic to be completely false and not
corresponds to the truth, perfectly explains a lot of different
phenomena, then I believe that, despite all its falsity, it is up to
explains to some extent the phenomenon of comets.
Galileo. Assayer (1623)
your priesthood and Mr. Galileo act wisely,
being content with what is said tentatively and not absolutely;
I always believed that Copernicus said so too. Because if
say that the assumption about the Earth's motion and immobility
The sun allows you to imagine all phenomena better than acceptance
eccentrics and epicycles, then this will be said perfectly and not
entails no danger. Forthe mathematics of this is quite
enough.
Cardinal Bellarmino, Jesuit. Letter 12.4.1615 to Friar Foscarini
At the end of the 16th century. Cardinal Roberto participated in the compilation of the Index
Bellarmino - one of Giordano Bruno's executioners and pursuer
Galilee. True, this did not prevent the fact that after his death
some of his theological treatises were considered seditious and
even included in the Index.
Grigulevich. Inquisition
A true scientist and seeker of truth never has absolute certainty
does not have (the case concerns those areas of knowledge where there are disputes), he
tries to achieve agreement with new and new arguments
his opponent not because he feels proud
superiority over him, and not out of vanity, but primarily for
to test his own beliefs and never stops
argue until you are sure that you understand the entire argument
enemy, that the enemy does not hold his views on
based on strictly objective data, and due to certain
prejudices, and that, consequently, further dispute
useless... A serious dispute can end when
the author can present the opponent's opinion with the same degree
the persuasiveness with which the opponent presents it, but then
add reasoning showing the roots of prejudice

excludes (without contradicting experience).A. Einstein. Field theory based on the Riemann metric and
absolute parallelism
William of Ockham developed an idea characteristic of nominalism,
according to which intermediate ideas or concepts must be
abolished or reduced to a minimum. For example, the concept of
universals are considered by Williams of Ockham as completely
an unnecessary intermediary that can be eliminated.
Alistair Magrath. Theological thought of the Reformation
The observer, when he thinks he sees a stone, observes
effects associated with exposure to the stone.
B. Russell. Exploring meaning and truth
Rational knowledge, or rationalism, means constant
testing knowledge through criteria that themselves
the queue is subject to continuous verification based on
other criteria. And about all this knowledge and criteria should
say that they are completely transparent, that is, access to them
is always open, and from those who are busy with knowledge, nothing
hide.

It is necessary to distinguish a physicist from a writer in cases where
These two professions are performed by one person.
A. Einstein. Epilogue. Socratic dialogue
Snow and many other literary scholars lived and continue to live
like patients with schizophrenia in two dimensions: here - a scientist, and
here is an artist who feels equally free in both
hypostases.

Dishonesty and dishonesty - according to my observations -

sciences" such as psychoanalysis, history, politics, etc.

Since perestroika times, most of the so-called. "historical
labors" - from the category of delirium tremens for green money.
Aleksei Pogorily 2:5020/1504
It is never known what exactly is missing, and counting what is missing is
non-existent and not introducing amendments for this is a mistake,
obviously leading to incorrect conclusions. ...On
"minor knowledge" level - selection of quotes from primary sources -
a similar conclusion is obtained, since you can select any quotes,
and those that contradict are omitted. This way you can “prove” everything,
what the historian or his customer wants, and the orders were different, from
praise to reproach, with many gradations.
Gumilev. Ancient Rus' and the Great Steppe
Socrates. <...> Consequently, a worthy and wise geometer is
the most capable of all both lies and truth? ...And a bad geometer
is not capable of lying, and whoever is not capable of lying will not be found
a liar, as we have already agreed. And in astronomy, therefore,
if anyone is a liar at all, he will be a good liar as an expert
astronomy, since he is capable of lying; those who are not capable cannot:
because he is ignorant.
Plato. Hippias the Lesser
Socrates. <...> It seems to me that even now I am speaking coherently and
If I’m not careful, I’m afraid that even today I might become wiser,
than it should.

Hermogenes. However, undoubtedly, Socrates, you didgreat success.
Socrates. I think it seems to you that I have already gone far in wisdom.
Hermogenes. Yes, that's right.
Socrates. You won't be able to say anything soon!
Plato. Cratylus
Socrates <...> Or will you insist that what you think
every color is the same for a dog and for any other
living creature?
Theaetetus. By Zeus, I am not.

If you want to learn something from theoretical physicists about methods,
which they use...don't listen to what they say, but
Better study their work.

As one biologist reported: "Thus, at present
this question is completely clear, which indicates his weakness
knowledge."
D. Granin. Bison
According to W. Beveridge: “If during classes a student does not
noticed gaps and inconsistencies in the discipline being studied or not
brought out some of his own ideas, he will begin his scientific career
not in the best way."

second: help various burnouts rob simpletons.
