“Observation is a passive science, experimentation an active science.”
Claude Bernard
“Experimentation is an active science”
“In teaching man, experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes, like the objective reality of things, will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations”
“What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments lead”
Norbert Wiener
“He was an innovator, an experimenter, a missionary in bringing the gospel of good cooking to the home table.”
Craig Claiborne
“The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds”
“The true worth of an experimenter consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks in his experiment, but also what he did not seek.”
