Quote by Walter Gilbert

Science doesn't in the slightest depend on trust. It depends completely on the belief that you can demonstrate something for yourself.

Science doesn't in the slightest depend on trust. It depends

Summary

This quote emphasizes that science is not built upon blind trust or belief in the words of others, but rather on the principle of individual experimentation and verification. Scientific knowledge is attained through personal observation, experimentation, and reproducibility of results. Trust in science does not rest on accepting information at face value, but rather on the ability to independently observe, test, and validate findings. Therefore, faith in one's capacity to personally demonstrate and replicate scientific phenomena forms the foundation of scientific progress and understanding.

Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw.
