Famous quotes containing the words experimental and/or forest:
“Philosophers of science constantly discuss theories and representation of reality, but say almost nothing about experiment, technology, or the use of knowledge to alter the world. This is odd, because ‘experimental method’ used to be just another name for scientific method.... I hope [to] initiate a Back-to-Bacon movement, in which we attend more seriously to experimental science. Experimentation has a life of its own.”
—Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
“They say he is already in the forest of Arden, and a many
merry men with him; and there they live like the old Robin
Hood of England.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
