Método ExperimentalMinkowski (1908) :“The views of space and time that I wish to lay before you have sprung from the soil of experimental physics, and therein lies their strength. They are radical. Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away in to mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality.”
Poincaré (1899):“Experiment is the sole source of truth”

“A nós, a quem Deus deu um excelente observador em Tycho Brahe cujas observações mostraram o erro de 8 minutos nos cálculos feitos segundo Ptolemeus, cabe tranqüilamente reconhecer este benefício e usa-lo. [...] Estes 8 minutos me mostraram o caminho a uma reforma total da astronomia; viraram os fundamentos de um grande parte deste obra.” – Astronomia nova (Heidelberg, 1609)
Kepler: Cabeça fria.
Stephen Jay Gould :
Many people make an unfortunate and invalid separation between heart and mind, or feeling and intellect. [...] Statistics, in this absurd dichotomy, often become the symbol of the enemy. As Hilaire Belloc wrote, “Statistics are the triumph of the quantitative method, and the quantitative method is the victory of sterility and death.” – ‘The Median Isn't the Message’
