An experiment disproving a prediction is discovery. Enrico Fermi
An experiment disproving a prediction is discovery.
Experimental confirmation of a prediction is merely a measurement. An experiment disproving a prediction is a discovery. Enrico Fermi
Experimental confirmation of a prediction is merely a measurement. An experiment disproving a prediction is a discovery.
There's two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. Enrico Fermi
There's two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
There is no better high than discovery. E. O. Wilson

We must expect the discovery of many as yet unknown elements-for example, elements analogous to aluminum and silicon- whose atomic weight would be between 65 and 75. Dmitri Mendeleev

This fixes as it were the latitude and longitude of each discovery, and enables us to place it in that part of the map of human knowledge which it ought to occupy. Benjamin Thompson

If you know you're right, you don't care. You know that sooner or later, it will come out in the wash. When asked about the long delay in recognition for her discovery. Barbara McClintock

Every great discovery I ever made, I gambled that the truth was there, and then I acted in faith until I could prove its existence. Arthur Compton

After the discovery of spectral analysis no one trained in physics could doubt the problem of the atom would be solved when physicists had learned to understand the language of spectra. Arnold Sommerfeld
