Hannes Olof Gösta Alfvén: Citáty v angličtine

“Scientists tend to resist interdisciplinary inquiries into their own territory.”

Zdroj: Dean of the Plasma Dissidents (1988), p. 192.
Kontext: Scientists tend to resist interdisciplinary inquiries into their own territory. In many instances, such parochialism is founded on the fear that intrusion from other disciplines would compete unfairly for limited financial resources and thus diminish their own opportunity for research.

“The key is not to confuse myth and empirical results, or religion and science.”

Zdroj: Dean of the Plasma Dissidents (1988), p. 196.
Kontext: Since religion intrinsically rejects empirical methods, there should never be any attempt to reconcile scientific theories with religion. An infinitely old universe, always evolving, may not be compatible with the Book of Genesis. However, religions such as Buddhism get along without having any explicit creation mythology and are in no way contradicted by a universe without a beginning or end. Creatio ex nihilo, even as religious doctrine, only dates to around AD 200. The key is not to confuse myth and empirical results, or religion and science.
