“Some people think that science is just all this technology around, but NO it’s something much deeper than that. Science, scientific thinking, scientific method is for me the only philosophical construct that the human race has developed to determine what is reliably true.”

Sir Harry (Harold) Kroto, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in “Ask a Nobel Laureate” (2010) (not sure which part)
