It is the simple hypotheses of which one must be most wary because these are the ones that have the most chances of passing unnoticed.
Henri Poincare
Image
Perception is NOT reality. People have always said that - perception is reality. I reject that hypothesis.
Jim Harbaugh
Image
The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.
Andrew Wiles
Image
Religion, after all, is nothing but an hypothesis framed to account for what is evidentially unaccounted for.
H. L. Mencken
Image
Of course, it is worth it to take the time to think carefully through your assumptions, and ensure you at least have hypotheses around how you will create value. But use the analysis as a way to focus attention on the most critical assumptions, rather than spend a ton of time massaging the numbers.
Scott D. Anthony
Image
Any theory, hypothesis, philosophy, sect, creed or institution that fears investigation, openly manifests its own error.
Andrew Jackson Davis
Image
To pin your hopes upon the future is to consign those hopes to a hypothesis, which is to say, a nothingness. Here and now is what we must contend with.
Angela Carter
Image
Nevertheless, as is a frequent occurrence in science, a general hypothesis was constructed from a few specific instances of a phenomenon.
Sidney Altman
Image
There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
Enrico Fermi
Image
The wheels and springs of man are all set to the hypothesis of the permanence of nature. We are not built like a ship to be tossed, but like a house to stand.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
When you exist in the centre of a debate, as a topic, a hypothesis - otherised and stigmatised - you become the prop in a proposition.
Randa Abdel-Fattah
Image
Taken as hypotheses, religious claims do very badly. Yet the striking fact is that this does not worry Christians.
Tim Crane
Image
Although efficient markets people still go around saying there is a mountain of evidence supporting their hypothesis, the truth of the matter is that it's a very old mountain that's now eroding rapidly into the sea.
Robert Haugen
Image
I will listen to any hypothesis but on one condition-that you show me a method by which it can be tested.
August Wilhelm von Hofmann
Image
The hypothesis of the supernatural and/or a supreme being is vague, unfounded, and inapplicable in any practical fashion
PZ Myers
Image
For it is the duty of an astronomer to compose the history of the celestial motions or hypotheses about them. Since he cannot in any certain way attain to the true causes, he will adopt whatever suppositions enable the motions to be computed correctly from the principles of geometry for the future as well as for the past.
Andreas Osiander
Image
Creativity is the process of sensing problems or gaps in information, then identifying the difficulties and seeking solutions through trial and error or through forming hypotheses.
Ellis Paul Torrance
Image
History, human or geological, represents our hypothesis, couched in terms of past events, devised to explain our present-day observations.
M. King Hubbert
Image
I think philosophers can do things akin to theoretical scientists, in that, having read about empirical data, they too can think of what hypotheses and theories might account for that data. So there's a continuity between philosophy and science in that way.
Robert Nozick
Image
Begin with dhyana, with meditation, and end in samadhi, in ecstasy, and you will know what God is. It is not a hypothesis, it is an experience. You have to LIVE it - that is the only way to know it.
Rajneesh
Image
The intensity of a conviction that a hypothesis is true has no bearing on whether it is true or false. The importance of the strength of our conviction is only to provide a proportionately strong incentive to find out if the hypothesis will stand up to critical evaluation.
Peter Medawar
Image
France is a nation devoted to the false hypothesis on which it then builds marvelously logical structures.
Gore Vidal
Image
To invent without scruple a new principle to every new phenomenon, instead of adapting it to the old to overload our hypothesis with a variety of this kind, are certain proofs that none of these principles is the just one, and that we only desire, by a number of falsehoods, to cover our ignorance of the truth.
David Hume
Image
Hypotheses non fingo. I frame no hypotheses.
Isaac Newton
