Science Is A Tribute To

You Will Die But The Carbon Will Not; Its Career Does Not End With You. It Will Return To The Soil, And There A Plant May Take It Up Again In Time, Sending It Once More On A Cycle Of Plant And Animal Life.

Every Animal Leaves Traces Of What It Was; Man Alone Leaves Traces Of What He Created.

Man Masters Nature Not By Force But By Understanding. This Is Why Science Has Succeeded Where Magic Failed: Because It Has Looked For No Spell To Cast Over Nature.

Nature Is More Subtle, More Deeply Intertwined And More Strangely Integrated Than Any Of Our Pictures Of Her Than Any Of Our Errors. It Is Not Merely That Our Pictures Are Not Full Enough; Each Of Our Pictures In The End Turns Out To Be So Basically Mistaken That The Marvel Is That It Worked At All.

Science, Like Art, Is Not A Copy Of Nature But A Re-creation Of Her.
