We have to learn again that science without contact with experiments is an enterprise which is likely to go completely astray into imaginary conjecture.

In our gliding experiments we had had a number of experiences in which we had landed upon one wing, but the crushing of the wing had absorbed the shock, so that we were not uneasy about the motor in case of a landing of that kind.

It should now be clear why the method of Philosophy is so different from that of the natural sciences. Experiments are not made, because they would be utterly useless.

Even such an obvious idea as to observe an animal with vertigo or to rotate an animal did not occur to him, in spite of the fact that he conducted numerous vertigo experiments with human subjects and made frequent use of animal experiments.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead.

I turned my attention for a while to gamma ray astronomy and soon began the first in a continous series of experiments at the Savannah River site to study the properties of the neutrino.

I'm a British psychological illusionist, which is a term I made up, but I do these kind of mind-reading and psychological experiments. There's nothing magical about it at all.

Short stories are fiction's R & D department, and failed or less-than-conclusive experiments are not just to be expected but to be hoped for.

If I had been a member of the academic establishment, I could have done other experiments.

You can imagine: 99 percent of your experiments fail for one reason or another.

Conflating thought experiments with reality could slow the deployment of AVs that are reliably safer than human drivers.

Beginning in 1986, a series of field experiments were designed to test the various hypotheses which had been put forth to explain the Antarctic ozone hole.

I suppose I'm worried that someday there will be some exciting experiments to do, and there won't be anyone around who knows what experiments are.

In our gliding experiments we had had a number of experiences in which we had landed upon one wing, but the crushing of the wing had absorbed the shock, so that we were not uneasy about the motor in case of a landing of that kind.

A lot of missions for NASA or experiments on accelerators happen through a whole process of scientific retreats, long-range planning, forming collaborations to do studies - all this kind of stuff. It's very democratic.

There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.

The whole world tried to reproduce the Weber experiments.

Biologically the species is the accumulation of the experiments of all its successful individuals since the beginning.

Ever since I was little, I've always had a few science experiments going on.

Experiments don't always pay.
