• The history of Science is not a mere record of isolated discoveries; it is a narrative of the conflict of two contending powers, the expansive force of the human intellect on one side, and the compression arising from traditionary faith and human interests on the other.

• Difficulties arise when reported observations seem to conflict with 'facts' that the majority of scientists accept as established and immutable. Scientists tend to reject conflicting observations.....Nevertheless, the history of science shows that new observations and theories can eventually prevail.

• It is a remarkable fact that the second law of thermodynamics has played in the history of science a fundamental role far beyond its original scope. Suffice it to mention Boltzmann's work on kinetic theory, Planck's discovery of quantum theory or Einstein's theory of spontaneous emission, which were all based on the second law of thermodynamics.

• Sigmund Freud often remarked that great revolutions in the history of science have but one common, and ironic, feature: they knock human arrogance off one pedestal after another of our previous conviction about our own self-importance.

• It would be foolish to give credit to Euclid for pangeometrical conceptions; the idea of geometry deifferent from the common-sense one never occurred to his mind. Yet, when he stated the fifth postulate, he stood at the parting of the ways. His subconscious prescience is astounding. There is nothing comperable to it in the whole history of science.

  George Sarton

• ...Creo que la visión popular de la Ciencia es un cuerpo sólido de verdad, compartido por un montón de hombres eruditos en una habitación, todos de acuerdo en las respuestas a las preguntas de cómo funciona el Universo. Pero nada más lejos de la realidad. La única verdad que veo surgir de la Historia de la Ciencia es que la experimentación siempre ha sorprendido a los teóricos. Einstein incluido.

• La historia del arte no puede entenderse correctamente sin alguna referencia a la historia de la ciencia. En ambas estamos estudiando los símbolos mediante los cuales el hombre afirma su esquema mental, y estos símbolos, ya sean pictóricos o matemáticos, una fábula o una fórmula, reflejarán los mismos cambios.

• The result of [the] cumulative efforts to investigate the cell - to investigate life at the molecular level - is a loud, clear, piercing cry of 'design!' The result is so unambiguous and so significant that it must be ranked as one of the greatest achievements in the history of science. The discovery rivals those of Newton and Einstein, Lavoisier and Schrödinger, Pasteur, and Darwin. The observation of the intelligent design of life is as momentous as the observation that the earth goes around the sun.

• Según mi definición, una teoría científica es una explicación propuesta que se centra o apunta a datos físicos observables y a inferencias lógicas. Hay muchas cosas a lo largo de la historia de la ciencia que ahora pensamos que son incorrectas y que, sin embargo, encajarían en esa definición. Sí, la astrología es de hecho una de ellas.
