More quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss
Without science, everything is a miracle.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Empirical explorations ultimately change our understanding of which questions are important and fruitful and which are not.
Lawrence M. Krauss
We should provide the meaning of the universe in the meaning of our own lives. So I think science doesn't necessarily have to get in the way of kind of spiritual fulfillment.
Lawrence M. Krauss
When a person's religious beliefs cause him to deny the evidence of science, or for whom public policy morphs into a battle with the devil, shouldn't that be a subject for discussion and debate?
Lawrence M. Krauss
What science is all about is a process. It's like saying, Well, is it important for people to know that World War II happened? Well it's part of what makes us who we are. And so, there's basic bits of science we need to know.
Lawrence M. Krauss
A truly open mind means forcing our imaginations to conform to the evidence of reality, and not vice versa.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The illusion of purpose and design is perhaps the most pervasive illusion about nature that science has to confront on a daily basis.
Lawrence M. Krauss
There are a lot of legislators who are afraid that kids will learn science and lose their faith.
Lawrence M. Krauss
A significant fraction of evangelical voters appear more likely to ignore the candidates' specific economic and foreign policy platforms in favor of concerns about gay marriage or abortion.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The really important thing is learning how to sceptically question and rely on empirical evidence.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The fact is that people would rather cling when they're afraid of something to a priori beliefs than rather open their minds about it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
In this sense, science, as physicist Steven Weinberg has emphasized, does not make it impossible to believe in God, but rather makes it possible to not believe in God.
Lawrence M. Krauss
The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
Neutrinos alone, among all the known particles, have ethereal properties that are striking and romantic enough both to have inspired a poem by John Updike and to have sent teams of scientists deep underground for 50 years to build huge science-fiction-like contraptions to unravel their mysteries.
Lawrence M. Krauss
For the record: Quantum mechanics does not deny the existence of objective reality. Nor does it imply that mere thoughts can change external events. Effects still require causes, so if you want to change the universe, you need to act on it.
Lawrence M. Krauss
There is a maxim about the universe which I always tell my students: That which is not explicitly forbidden is guaranteed to occur.
Lawrence M. Krauss
People are interested in science, but they don't always know they're interested in science, and so I try to find a way to get them interested.
Lawrence M. Krauss
You shouldn't be afraid of science. Accepting the reality of nature makes life more exciting and even more precious.
Lawrence M. Krauss
I like to say that while antimatter may seem strange, it is strange in the sense that Belgians are strange. They are not really strange it is just that one rarely meets them.
Lawrence M. Krauss
We now know that we are more insignificant than we ever imagined. If you get rid of everything we see, the universe is essentially the same. We constitute a 1 percent bit of pollution in a universe . . . we are completely irrelevant.
Lawrence M. Krauss
