Top Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Milton Friedman

Keynes was a great economist. In every discipline, progress comes from people who make hypotheses, most of which turn out to be wrong, but all of which ultimately point to the right answer. Now Keynes, in The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money,set forth a hypothesis which was a beautiful one, and it really altered the shape of economics. But it turned out that it was a wrong hypothesis. That doesn't mean that he wasn't a great man! — Milton Friedman

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By William Whewell

The hypotheses which we accept ought to explain phenomena which we have observed. But they ought to do more than this; our hypotheses ought to foretell phenomena which have not yet been observed; ... because if the rule prevails, it includes all cases; and will determine them all, if we can only calculate its real consequences. Hence it will predict the results of new combinations, as well as explain the appearances which have occurred in old ones. And that it does this with certainty and correctness, is one mode in which the hypothesis is to be verified as right and useful. — William Whewell

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Martha Beck

My anguish came from my hypothesis that other people's hypothetical hypotheses about me mattered. Ridiculous! — Martha Beck

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Jorge Luis Borges

You will reply that reality hasn't the slightest need to be of interest. And I'll answer you that reality may avoid the obligation to be interesting, but that hypotheses may not. In the hypothesis you have postulated, chance intervenes largely. Here lies a dead rabbi; I should prefer a purely rabbinical explanation; not the imaginary mischances of an imaginary robber. — Jorge Luis Borges

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Hermann Minkowski

The rigid electron is in my view a monster in relation to Maxwell's equations, whose innermost harmony is the principle of relativity ... the rigid electron is no working hypothesis, but a working hindrance. Approaching Maxwell's equations with the concept of the rigid electron seems to me the same thing as going to a concert with your ears stopped up with cotton wool. We must admire the courage and the power of the school of the rigid electron which leaps across the widest mathematical hurdles with fabulous hypotheses, with the hope to land safely over there on experimental-physical ground. — Hermann Minkowski

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Allen Steele

Look ... first and foremost, I'm a scientist. That means it's my responsibility to make observations and gather evidence before forming a hypothesis, not vice versa. — Allen Steele

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Julian Huxley

God is one among several hypotheses to account for the phenomena of human destiny, and it is now proving to be an inadequate hypothesis. To a great many people, including myself, this realization is a great relief, both intellectually and morally. It frees us to explore the real phenomena for which the God hypothesis seeks to account, to define them more accurately, and to work for a more satisfying set of concepts. — Julian Huxley

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By William John Macquorn Rankine

In thermodynamics as well as in other branches of molecular physics , the laws of phenomena have to a certain extent been anticipated, and their investigation facilitated, by the aid of hypotheses as to occult molecular structures and motions with which such phenomena are assumed to be connected. The hypothesis which has answered that purpose in the case of thermodynamics, is called that of "molecular vortices," or otherwise, the "centrifugal theory of elasticity. — William John Macquorn Rankine

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

Is evolution a theory, a system, or an hypothesis? It is much more: it is a general condition to which all theories, all hypotheses, all systems must bow and which they must satisfy henceforward if they are to be thinkable and true. — Pierre Teilhard De Chardin

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Robert A. Heinlein

Mike did not seem to grasp the idea of Creation itself. Well, Jubal wasn't sure that he did, either
he had long ago made a pact with himself to postulate a Created Universe on even-numbered days, a tail-swallowing eternal-and-uncreated Universe on odd-numbered days
since each hypothesis, while equally paradoxical, neatly avoided the paradoxes of the other
with, of course, a day off each year for sheer solipsist debauchery. — Robert A. Heinlein

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Bertrand Russell

I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist; so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them. — Bertrand Russell

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Isaac Newton

I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses; for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called a hypothesis, and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy. — Isaac Newton

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Augustus De Morgan

Wrong hypotheses, rightly worked from, have produced more useful results than unguided observations. — Augustus De Morgan

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Warren Buffett

You will be right, over the course of many transactions, if your hypotheses are correct, your facts are correct, and your reasoning is correct. True conservatism is only possible through knowledge and reason. — Warren Buffett

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Joan Robinson

Economics limps along with one foot in untested hypotheses and the other in untestable slogans. — Joan Robinson

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Robert M. Pirsig

(1) statement of the problem, (2) hypotheses as to the cause of the problem, (3) experiments designed to test each hypothesis, (4) predicted results of the experiments, (5) observed results of the experiments and (6) conclusions from the results of the experiments. — Robert M. Pirsig

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Karl Popper

Better our hypotheses die for our errors than ourselves. — Karl Popper

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By William Whewell

The hypotheses we accept ought to explain phenomena which we have observed. But they ought to do more than this: our hypotheses ought to foretell phenomena which have not yet been observed. — William Whewell

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Henry Edward Armstrong

Hypotheses like professors, when they are seen not to work any longer in the laboratory, should disappear. — Henry Edward Armstrong

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Leviak B. Kelly

This does not mean that the one presenting the hypothesis should be resolute to disbelieve his or her postulate but rather the person should be resolute to leave the expressed opinion should they be thoroughly convinced of its lack of accuracy and poignant truth. Whether this truth is made through poetic license and artistic dramatic presentation or through clinical analysis of facts or both, the truth must be embraced not merely denied by blind faith of either new atheism or religious ideals. New or old is of no consequence, only truth and compassion are of value. — Leviak B. Kelly

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By David George Hogarth

The limitations of archaeology are galling. It collects phenomena, but hardly ever can isolate them so as to interpret scientifically; it can frame any number of hypotheses, but rarely, if ever, scientifically prove. — David George Hogarth

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Novalis

Hypotheses are nets: only he who casts will catch. — Novalis

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By William James

To consider hypotheses is surely always better than to dogmatize ins blaue hinein — William James

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

But how does it happen that the mind of the dreamer is always so mistaken, while the same mind when awake is accustomed to be so temperate, careful, and skeptical with regard to its hypotheses? so that the first random hypothesis for the explanation of a feeling suffices for him to believe immediately in its truth? (For in dreaming we believe in the dream as if it were a reality, i.e. we think our hypothesis completely proved.) I — Friedrich Nietzsche

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Isaac Newton

I do not feign hypotheses. — Isaac Newton

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Albert Einstein

The most superior of scientific goals is to embrace a maximum of experiment with a minimum of hypotheses. — Albert Einstein

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Leonard Bloomfield

If it were possible to transfer the methods of physical or of biological science directly to the study of man, the transfer would long ago have been made ... We have failed not for lack of hypotheses which equate man with the rest of the universe, but for lack of a hypothesis (short of animism) which provides for the peculiar divergence of man ... Let me now state my belief that the peculiar factor in man which forbids our explaining his actions upon the ordinary plane of biology is a highly specialized and unstable biological complex, and that this factor is none other than language. — Leonard Bloomfield

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By James Jeans

In real science a hypothesis can never be proved true ... A science which confines itself to correlating phenomena can never learn anything about the reality underlying the phenomena, while a science which goes further than this and introduces hypotheses about reality, can never acquire certain knowledge of a positive kind about reality; in whatever way we proceed, this is forever denied us. — James Jeans

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By Pierre Duhem

The physicist can never subject an isolated hypothesis to experimental test, but only a whole group of hypotheses. — Pierre Duhem

Hypotheses Vs Hypothesis Quotes By George Soros

I would be lying, however, if I claimed that I could always formulate worthwhile hypotheses on the basis of my theoretical framework. Sometimes there were no reflexive processes to be found; sometimes I failed to find them; and, what was the most painful of all, sometimes I got them wrong. One way or another, I often invested without a worthwhile hypothesis and my activities were not very different from a random walk. — George Soros
