Famous quotes containing the words test and/or statistics:
“Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be ‘observed’ are manipulated to produce a new phenomena
[sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.”
—Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
“We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
