Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition. ~Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776

No one should approach the temple of science with the soul of a money changer. ~Thomas Browne

Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. ~John Dewey, The Quest for Certainty, 1929

If we wish to make a new world we have the material ready. The first one, too, was made out of chaos. ~Robert Quillen

Oh good, quotes!

"[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela

[/FONT]"Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation." - John F. Kennedy

"[/FONT][FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]The highest result of education is tolerance." - Helen Keller


Sad Max - Surely we can agree that we should each do more to change our world instead of waiting for others to do it for us.

Sorry, didn't mean to call you Shirley.

And just to add some balance--

I thought this was the destroyer of worlds?

Intelligence is the glory of God. Every thing the human mind can imagine can come true.

YES! That's the one! That is what anti-matter looks like under the right magnification level.

Science, pure science, and damned be he who first cries 'hold, too much!'

Well, I'll be damned.


IMHO, science gives better tools, nothing else. It gives humans know-how, but doesn't give us know-why.

Tools... Bones. Bows. ICBMs.

Science doesn't make people better, it only makes them more lethal.

This proton rollercoaster thingy might solve some problems, but it will probably create a new set of problems, the same as every other tool.

Nothing changes, only the illusions of people [females included ].

And for the record, I'm not against science or the LHC, they're just tools.


"Hold on, I don't know what this thing actually does!"


Just my 2 (colliding) neurons.

We just like going around in circles and colliding.

True... there is free will which we can only learn how to accept and embrace to be happy with it's company. And on the other side of the ring, I mean brain, we can learn more about the world so we can accept it and embrace it... let's go hump some trees. LOL!!!

How and why are sort of the same question... "Can I learn, some, more please?"

They should obviously coincide this test (if they must do it) with the end of the Mayan calendar.

I slowly started to write a script about that.
