Many of the alarmists on global warming, they’ve got a problem because the science doesn’t back them up. – Ted Cruz
I like physics. I think it is the best science out of all three of them, because generally it’s more useful. You learn about speed and velocity and time, and that’s all clever stuff. – Tom Felton
It will free man from the remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. – Wernher von Braun
The more chaos there is, the more science holds on to abstract systems of control, and the more chaos is engendered. – William Irwin Thompson
Even if you only want to write science fiction, you should also read mysteries, poetry, mainstream literature, history, biography, philosophy, and science. – Walter Jon Williams
Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It’s just always all in the way you use it. So there’s no – you can’t really blame anything on the technology. It’s just the way people use it, and it always has been. – Steve Martin
I don’t want to give advice to people about their religious beliefs, but I do think that it’s not smart to bet against the power of science to figure out the natural world. It used to be, a thousand years ago, that if you wanted to explain why the moon moved through the sky, you needed to invoke God. – Sean M. Carroll
Whenever I read a contemporary literary novel that describes the world we’re living in, I wait for the science fiction tools to come out. Because they have to – the material demands it. – William Gibson
We do a lot of science on the space station. Over the course of the year, there’ll be 400 to 500 different investigations in all different kinds of disciplines. Some are related to improving life on earth in material science, physics, combustion science, earth sciences, medicine. – Scott Kelly
What we get from building a space station, the economic return, the science return, is very, very important to our nation, to our economy. – Scott Kelly
There is no question that Taiwan is a state in any political science definition of a state. – William Kirby
One of the most interesting things about science fiction and fantasy is the way that the genres can offer different perspectives on matters to do with the body, the mind, medical technology, and the way we live our lives. – Tansy Rayner Roberts
Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art. – William Bernbach
It is what makes the reform process an art, not just a science. You have to develop a strategy that tells you what reform measures you should follow and in what sequence. – Vaclav Klaus

In a science fiction film, you’re uniquely responsible to pay respect to the science represented in the movie. – Scott Derrickson
I do not know what got me interested in technology. What was very clear to me very early on was that I was not interested in religion and that naturally increased my curiosity about science and technology, and I fundamentally believe the two are conflicting. – Vinod Khosla
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational – and I’m speaking the written science fiction, not ‘Star Trek.’ Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they’re clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff. – Terry Pratchett
Prior to inventing the Geyser Tube toy, dropping a stack of Mentos into a bottle of soda was not always an easy task. The Geyser Tube makes it easy to get a perfect launch every time at heights of 30 feet or more. Tell me… who doesn’t like to see soda shooting 30 feet into the air, all in the name of science? – Steve Spangler
Science doesn’t in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself. – Walter Gilbert
I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie. – Talulah Riley
It was clear to me from the start that I would need to combine both a medical degree with a research qualification, to keep at the cutting edge of medical science and technology. – Susan Lim
When I find myself in the company of scientists, I feel like a shabby curate who has strayed by mistake into a room full of dukes. – W. H. Auden
Natural science, does not simply describe and explain nature; it is part of the interplay between nature and ourselves. – Werner Heisenberg

I would say that molecular gastronomy is a field of science. I would – I would say that it’s probably lumped under chemistry, maybe. Because cooking, while it has certainly biology and some physics, it’s mostly chemistry. – Wylie Dufresne
