Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science.
Interpretation
Science is a journey of exploration and discovery using our senses.
This quote by Edwin Powell Hubble highlights the idea that human beings, with their unique sensory perceptions, engage in an ongoing adventure to understand the universe. Science is framed not merely as a discipline, but as an adventurous quest where each observation and discovery serves to enrich our understanding of the cosmos.
In practice
In a presentation on the importance of scientific research, you might say, 'As Hubble reminds us, equipped with our senses, we embark on an adventure called science.'
At the last dim horizon, we search among ghostly errors of observations for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. The urge is older than history. It is not satisfied and it will not be oppressed.
The history of astronomy is a history of receding horizons.
Equipped with our five senses - along with telescopes and microscopes and mass spectrometers and seismographs and magnetometers and particle accelerators and detectors sensitive to the entire electromagnetic spectrum - we explore the universe around us and call the adventure science.
There we measure shadows, and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial.
All nature is a vast symbolism: Every material fact has sheathed within it a spiritual truth.
Observations always involve theory.
My wonder button is being pushed all the time.
Evolution is one of the two or three most primally fascinating subjects in all the sciences.
It’s hard to build models of inflation that don't lead to a multiverse. It’s not impossible, so I think there’s still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking [the idea of a] multiverse seriously.
It is possible in medicine, even when you intend to do good, to do harm instead. That is why science thrives on actively encouraging criticism rather than stifling it.
As, pricked out with less and greater lights, between the poles of the universe, the Milky Way so gleameth white as to set very sages questioning.
There are so many intricacies to our brain that won't be understood unless we start to look at the system as a whole. All these different details don't operate in isolation.
