• "I am not very skeptical… a good deal of skepticism in a scientific man is advisable to avoid much loss of time, but I have met not a few men, who have often thus been deterred from experiments or observations which would have proven servicable."

  — Charles Darwin

• "Round about the accredited and orderly facts of every science there ever floats a sort of dust-cloud of exceptional observations, of occurrences minute and irregular and seldom met with, which it always proves more easy to ignore than to attend to… Anyone will renovate his science who will steadily look after the irregular phenomena, and when science is renewed, its new formulas often have more of the voice of the exceptions in them than of what were supposed to be the rules."

  — William James

• "I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives."

  — Tolstoy

• "It is really quite amazing by what margins competent but conservative scientists and engineers can miss the mark, when they start with the preconceived idea that what they are investigating is impossible. When this happens, the most well-informed men become blinded by their prejudices and are unable to see what lies directly ahead of them."

  — Arthur C. Clarke, 1963

• "When .even the brightest mind in our world has been trained up from childhood in a superstition of any kind, it will never be possible for that mind, in its maturity, to examine sincerely, dispassionately, and conscientiously any evidence or any circumstance which shall seem to cast a doubt upon the validity of that superstition. I doubt if I could do it myself."

  — Mark Twain

• "Doubt everything or believe everything: these are two equally convenient strategies. With either we dispense with the need for reflection."

  — Henri Poincare

• "It is not uncommon for engineers to accept the reality of phenomena that are not yet understood, as it is very common for physicists to disbelieve the reality of phenomena that seem to contradict contemporary beliefs of physics"

  — H. Bauer

• "If a man is in too big a hurry to give up an error he is liable to give up some truth with it."

  — Wilbur Wright, 1902

• "It's like religion. Heresy [in science] is thought of as a bad thing, whereas it should be just the opposite."

  — Dr. Thomas Gold

• "You can get into a habit of thought in which you enjoy making fun of all those other people who don't see things as clearly as you do. We have to guard carefully against it."

  — Carl Sagan, 1987 CSICOP meeting

• "New and stirring things are belittled because if they are not belittled, the humiliating question arises, 'Why then are you not taking part in them?'"

  — H. G. Wells

• "The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also."

  — Mark Twain

• "I believe there is no source of deception in the investigation of nature which can compare with a fixed belief that certain kinds of phenomena are IMPOSSIBLE."

  — William James

  — Martin Gardner

• "Almost all really new ideas have a certain aspect of foolishness when they are first produced."

  — Alfred North Whitehead

  — Wilfred Trotter, 1941

• "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

  — Arthur C. Clarke's First Law

• "There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell 'em."

  — Louis Armstrong

• "Many medical practices are not soundly based. They are sustained, as is true of other human pursuits, by an inertia supported by fashion, custom, and the word of authority. The security provided by a long-held .belief system, even when poorly founded, is a strong impediment to progress. General acceptance of a practice becomes the proof of its validity, though it lacks all other merit."

  — Dr. B. Lown, invented heart defibrillator.

• "The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible."

  — Bertrand Russell

• "New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common."

  — John Locke

• "All great truths begin as blasphemies."

  — George Bernard Shaw

• "Be not astonished at new ideas; for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many."

  — Spinoza

• "If we watch ourselves honestly we shall often find that we have begun to argue against a new idea even before it has been completely stated."

  — Wilfred Trotter

• "When a man finds a conclusion agreeable, he accepts it without argument, but when he finds it disagreeable, he will bring against it all the forces of logic and reason."

  — Thucydides

• "It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow."

  — Robert Goddard

• "Science might be better served when some scientists generate novel ideas while others carp at everything new, than if all scientists could

  somehow become disinterestedly skeptical." Dr. Henry H. Bauer

• "There is nothing particularly scientific about excessive caution. Science thrives on daring generalizations."

  — L. Hogben

• "What we need is not the will to believe but the will to find out."

  — Bertrand Russell

• "Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible."

  — M. C. Escher

• "It would seem to me… an offense against nature, for us to come on the same scene endowed as we are with the curiosity, filled to overbrimming as we are with questions, and naturally talented as we are for the asking of clear questions, and then for us to do nothing about, or worse, to try to suppress the questions…"

  — Lewis Thomas

  — H. D. Thoreau

• "You cannot depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."

  — Mark Twain

• "The man who cannot occasionally imagine events and conditions of existence that are contrary to the causal principle as he knows it will never enrich his science by the addition of a new idea."

  — Max Planck

• "If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?"

  — Albert Einstein

• "If what we regard as real depends on our theory, how can we make reality the basis of our philosophy? …But we cannot distinguish what is real about the universe without a theory… it makes no sense to ask if it corresponds to reality, because we do not know what reality is independent of a theory."

  — Stephen Hawking

• "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."

  — Phillip K. Dick

• "There are children playing in the street who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago."

  — Robert Oppenheimer

• "The discovery of truth is prevented more effectively not by the false appearance of things present and which mislead into error, not directly by weakness of the reasoning powers, but by preconceived opinion, by prejudice."

  — Sir Martin Rees (astronomer)

  "I can't see any farther. Giants are standing on my shoulders!"

• "In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time someting like that happened in politics or religion."

  — Carl Sagan

• "When I examined myself and my methods of thought, I came to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."

  — William James

• "The pressure for conformity is enormous. I have experienced it in editors rejection of submitted papers, based on venomous criticism of anonymous referees. The replacement of impartial reviewing by censorship will be the death of science."

  — Julian Schwinger, physicist

• "When adults first become conscious of something new, they usually either attack or try to escape from it… Attack includes such mild forms as ridicule, and escape includes merely putting out of mind."

  — W. I. B Beveridge, The Art of Sci. Investigation, 1950

• "New ideas are always criticized — not because an idea lacks merit, but because it might turn out to be workable, which would threaten the reputations of many people whose opinions conflict with it. Some people may even lose their jobs."

  — physicist, requested anonymity

• "All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; and Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

  — J.B.S. Haldane, 1963

  — Charles Kettering, GM

• "If you are only skeptical, then no new ideas make it through to you. You become a crotchety old person convinced that nonsense is ruling the world. (There is, of course, much data to support you.) But every now and then, a new idea turns out to be on the mark, valid and wonderful. If you are too much in the habit of being skeptical about everything, you are going to miss or resent it, and either way you will be standing in the way of understanding and progress. "

  — Enrico Fermi

• "Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be defeated, but they start a winning game."

  — Goethe

• "If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, the knowledge, the absolute truth of the day, but remain always uncertain… In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar."

  — Richard Feynman

  — Sir William Osler

• "The altar cloth of one aeon is the doormat of the next."

  — Mark Twain

• "Perhaps the only thing that sa.ves science from invalid conventional wisdom that becomes effectively permanent is the presence of mavericks in every generation — people who keep challenging convention and thinking up new ideas for the sheer hell of it or from an innate contrariness."

  — Dr. D. M. Raup, Paleontologist, U. Chicago.

• "One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike — and yet it is the most precious thing we have."

  — minerologist Eugene de Patrin, said in 1802 while dismissing reports of meteorites.

• "The skeptic will say, 'It may well be true that this system of equations is reasonable from a logical standpoint, but this does not prove that it corresponds to nature.' You are right, dear skeptic. Experience alone can decide on truth.

  — Albert Einstein

• Unnamed Law: If it happens, it must be possible.

  — J. Bahcall, senior astrophysicist, Institute for Advanced Study

• "On any Tuesday morning, if asked, a good working scientist will tell you with some self-satisfaction that the affairs of his field are nicely in order, that things are finally looking clear and making sense, and all is well. But come back again on another Tuesday, and the roof may have just fallen in on his life's work."

  — Lewis Thomas

  — Voltaire

BILL "HUGE EGO" BEATY'S OWN SAYINGS:

• Sufficiently anomalous discoveries are indistinguishable from pseudoscience.

• Progress in science is something like climbing a mountain. Only most mountaineers don't set up a new basecamp every ten feet, then leap out and attack anyone who tries to climb past them.

• The banner of "Openmindedness" attracts charlatans and gullible fools, just as the banner of "skepticism" attracts bigots and the narrow-minded. This is no reason for the skeptical scientist to see openmindedness as foolish gullibility, nor for the maverick scientist to assume that all skeptics are narrow-minded bigots.
