Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.

Science is imagination in the service of the verifiable truth, and that service is indeed communal. It cannot be rigidly planned. Rather, it requires freedom and courage and the plural contributions of many different kinds of people who must maintain their individuality while giving to the group.

Whenever anyone says, 'theoretically,' they really mean, 'not really.'

Science is wonderfully equipped to answer the question 'How?' but it gets terribly confused when you ask the question 'Why?'
