All exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. — Bertrand Russell
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. — Arthur Conan Doyle
Science is simply common sense at its best. — Thomas Huxley
Science is the systematic classification of experience. — George Henry Lewes
Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts. — Michael Faraday
But man has still another powerful resource: natural science with its strictly objective methods. — Ivan Pavlov
All that science can achieve is a perfect knowledge and a perfect understanding of the action of natural and moral forces. — Hermann von Helmholtz
The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order symmetry and limitations; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful. — Aristotle
Mathematics is the cheapest science. Unlike physics or chemistry, it does not require any expensive equipment. All one needs for mathematics is a pencil and paper. — George Polya
Hitting is an art, but not an exact science. — Rod Carew
If you have a bad thought about yourself, tell it to go to hell because that is exactly where it came from.
The Exact Sciences Quotes
Healing does not come through intense affirmation of divinity, or by simply pouring out love and the expression of a vague mysticism.It comes through mastering an exact science of contact, impression, of invocation plus an understanding of the subtle apparatus of the etheric vehicle. — Alice Bailey
The history of ideas and science is a history of us broadening our vision of exactly how large physical reality is. — Naval Ravikant
All human unhappiness comes from not facing reality squarely, exactly as it is.
Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces much the same effect as if you worked a love-story or an elopement into the fifth proposition of Euclid. — Arthur Conan Doyle
We are machines built by DNA whose purpose is to make more copies of the same DNA. ... This is exactly what we are for. We are machines for propagating DNA, and the propagation of DNA is a self-sustaining process. It is every living object's sole reason for living. — Richard Dawkins
All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers. — James Clerk Maxwell
I think people who vibrate at the same frequency, vibrate toward each other. They call it, in science, sympathetic vibrations.
All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers. — James C. Maxwell
'Creation science' has not entered the curriculum for a reason so simple and so basic that we often forget to mention it: because it is false, and because good teachers understand exactly why it is false. — Stephen Jay Gould
In my younger days, when I was painted by the half-educated, loose and inaccurate ways women had, I used to say, "How much women need exact science" But since I have known some workers in science, I have now said, "How much science needs women" — Maria Mitchell
Both pure and applied science have gradually pushed further and further the requirements for accuracy and precision. However, applied science, particularly in the mass production of interchangeable parts, is even more exacting than pure science in certain matters of accuracy and precision. — Walter A. Shewhart
I have learned to give not because I have many. But because I know exactly how it feels to have nothing.
Second, and relatedly, science progresses by improved instrumentation, by better recordkeeping. Star charts enabled celestial navigation. Johann Balmer’s documentation of the exact spacing of hydrogen’s emission spectra led to quantum mechanics. Gregor Mendel’s careful counting of pea plants led to modern genetics. Things we counted as simply beyond human ken – the stars, the atom, the genome – became things humans can comprehend by simply counting. — Balaji Srinivasan
Politics is not an exact science. That's why in school I loved mathematics. Everything in mathematics was clear to me. — Volodymyr Zelenskyy
If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again. — Penn Jillette
Macroeconomics, even with all of our computers and with all of our information - is not an exact science and is incapable of being an exact science. — Paul Samuelson
The theoretical side of physical chemistry is and will probably remain the dominant one; it is by this peculiarity that it has exerted such a great influence upon the neighboring sciences, pure and applied, and on this ground physical chemistry may be regarded as an excellent school of exact reasoning for all students of the natural sciences. — Svante Arrhenius
Astronomy leads us to a unique event, a universe which was created out of nothing, and delicately balanced to provide exactly the conditions required to support life. In the absence of an absurdly improbable accident, the observations of modern science seem to suggest an underlying, one might say, supernatural plan. — Arno Allan Penzias
Science enhances the moral value of life, because it furthers a love of truth and reverence-love of truth displaying itself in the constant endeavor to arrive at a more exact knowledge of the world of mind and matter around us, and reverence, because every advance in knowledge brings us face to face with the mystery of our own being. — Max Planck
Anyone who wants to know the human psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown, bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart through the world. — Carl Jung
The theory of probabilities is at bottom nothing but common sense reduced to calculus; it enables us to appreciate with exactness that which accurate minds feel with a sort of instinct for which of times they are unable to account. — Pierre-Simon Laplace
But it will be found... that one universal law prevails in all these phenomena. Where two portions of the same light arrive in the eye by different routes, either exactly or very nearly in the same direction, the appearance or disappearance of various colours is determined by the greater or less difference in the lengths of the paths. — Thomas Young
The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality. — Max Planck
There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty. — Wallace D. Wattles
But anything that can be called "rigor" is lost exactly where the things become interesting and non trivial. — Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov
While science continually uncovers new mysteries, it has removed much of what was once regarded as deeply mysterious. Although we certainly do not know the exact nature of every component of the universe, the basic principles of physics seem to apply out to the farthest horizon visible to us today. — Victor J. Stenger
If there ever was a misnomer, it is "exact science." Science has always been full of mistakes. The present day is no exception. And our mistakes are good mistakes; they require a genius to correct. Of course, we do not see our own mistakes. — Edward Teller
The understanding between a non-technical writer and his reader is that he shall talk more or less like a human being and not like an Act of Parliament. I take it that the aim of such books must be to convey exact thought in inexact language... he can never succeed without the co-operation of the reader. — Arthur Eddington
One aim of physical sciences had been to give an exact picture the material world. One achievement of physics in the twentieth century has been to prove that that aim is unattainable. — Jacob Bronowski
There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end. — Neil deGrasse Tyson
Sadly, my socks are like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. — Graham Parker
Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist. — Robert Lanza
One thing I learned from meteorology is that being an actual science was no guarantee of exactness. — Kenneth Arrow
Hindsight is an exact science. Hold fast to your dreams, for it dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened. — Thomas Jefferson
I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science. — Michelangelo Antonioni
It is essential for genetic material to be able to make exact copies of itself; otherwise growth would produce disorder, life could not originate, and favourable forms would not be perpetuated by natural selection. — Maurice Wilkins
History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical. — Marc Bloch
True science and true religion are twin sisters, and the separation of either from the other is sure to prove the death of both. Science prospers exactly in proportion as it is religious; and religion flourishes in exact proportion to the scientific depth and firmness of its basis. — Thomas Huxley
You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. — Albert Einstein
We are not so brazen as to believe that we can perfectly calibrate valuation; determining risk and return for any investment remains an art not an exact science — Seth Klarman
I proved to you that psychiatry is an exact science!" "An exact science?!" "Yes, you owe me exactly one hundred and forty-three dollars! — Charles M. Schulz
The view is often defended that sciences should be built up on clear and sharply defined basal concepts. In actual fact no science, not even the most exact, begins with such definitions. The true beginning of scientific activity consists rather in describing phenomena and then in proceeding to group, classify and correlate them. — Sigmund Freud
