Bruce Lipton Quotes

The true method of knowledge is experiment.

Reason, observation, and experience; the holy trinity of science.

Truth in science is always determined from observational facts.

You make observations, write theories to fit them, try experiments to disprove the theories and, if you can't, you've got something.

A valid scientific theory is predictive, verifiable, and replicable. To me, that's beautiful.

Where we have good, testable explanations, they then have to be tested, and we drop the ones that fail the tests.

In nature, when you conduct science, it is the natural world that is the ultimate decider in what is true and what is not.

The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.

The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.

Measurements, observations, descriptions can only be considered scientific when they are independently confirmed by other people.

The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.

The paradigm of physics - with its interplay of data, theory and prediction - is the most powerful in science.

It is not observation but theory that led me to this result that experience has confirmed afterwards.

if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.

I thought I should study physics because it's fundamental to all science.

[Modern science] passed through a long period of uncertainty and inconclusive experiment, but as the instrumental aids to research improved, and the results of observation accumulated, phantoms of the imagination were exorcised, idols of the cave were shattered, trustworthy materials were obtained for logical treatment, and hypotheses by long and careful trial were converted into theories.

Every theory presented as a scientific concept is just that; it's a theory that tries to explain more about the world than previous theories have done. It is open to being challenged and to being proven incorrect.

Science does not limit itself merely to what is currently verifiable. But it is interested in questions that are potentially verifiable (or, rather, falsifiable).

Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.

Science is defined in various ways, but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental, which is repeatable, which can be predicted, and which is falsifiable.

Science has authority, not because of white coats, or titles, but because of precision and transparency: you explain your theory, set out your evidence, and reference the studies that support your case.

If the facts are contrary to any predictions, then the hypothesis is wrong no matter how appealing.

Science consists exactly of those forms of knowledge that can be verified and duplicated by anybody.

I love to watch how scientists' minds work.

Every science consists in the coordination of facts; if the different observations were entirely isolated, there would be no science.
