Scientific Explanation

Famous quotes containing the words scientific and/or explanation:

    Truth is that concordance of an abstract statement with the ideal limit towards which endless investigation would tend to bring scientific belief, which concordance the abstract statement may possess by virtue of the confession of its inaccuracy and one-sidedness, and this confession is an essential ingredient of truth.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    There is a great deal of unmapped country within us which would have to be taken into account in an explanation of our gusts and storms.
