Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts

Summary

This quote suggests that science relies on the understanding that even experts in a particular field may not possess all the knowledge or answers. It implies that scientific progress is driven by questioning and constantly seeking new information, rather than blindly accepting the opinions or expertise of individuals. By acknowledging the potential ignorance of experts, science encourages critical thinking, curiosity, and a continuous quest for knowledge and understanding.

Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
