“So when I say it I mean it, and it is not a hypothesis. I have experienced It that way. The mind can be used and can be put aside. It is an instrument, a very beautiful instrument; no need to be so obsessed with it. No need to be so fixed, fixated with it. Then it becomes a disease.”
Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
“Your Highness, I have no need of this hypothesis.”
Pierre Laplace
“The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion-these are the most valuable coins of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.”
Jerome Bruner
“Truth in science can be defined as the working hypothesis best suited to open the way to the next better one.”
Konrad Lorenz
“We set out to test a promising but unproven hypothesis that has proven to be less promising than we anticipated. This is the nature of science: to have incremental gains and setbacks. We have a duty as scientists to put the best information out there at any given time, even if it can become confusing.”
Jacques Rossouw
“We set out to test a promising but unproven hypothesis that has proven to be less promising than we anticipated.”
“But that's purely conjecture at this point … a working hypothesis. Everything is on the table until we've gotten more data down.”
Steve Squyres
