"Indeed, this epistemological theory of the relation between theory and experiment differs sharply from the epistemological theory of naive falsificationism."

"On the other hand, we don't understand the theory too completely, and because of this fuzziness of spacetime, the very concept of spacetime and spacetime dimensions isn't precisely defined."

"It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong."

"Things are still in early stages, but one can imagine that as we build up and systematize our theories of these associations, and try to boil them down to their core, the result might point us toward the sort of fundamental principles I advocate."

"The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist from becoming confused by the ocean of anomalies."
Positive
"Research programmes, besides their negative heuristic, are also characterized by their positive heuristic."
Negative
"If even in science there is no a way of judging a theory but by assessing the number, faith and vocal energy of its supporters, then this must be even more so in the social sciences: truth lies in power."
Faith
"The classical example of a successful research programme is Newton's gravitational theory: possibly the most successful research programme ever."
Success
"Blind commitment to a theory is not an intellectual virtue: it is an intellectual crime."
Planning
"Einstein's results again turned the tables and now very few philosophers or scientists still think that scientific knowledge is, or can be, proven knowledge."
Knowledge
"Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind."
History
"There is no falsification before the emergence of a better theory."
Theory
"Our empirical criterion for a series of theories is that it should produce new facts. The idea of growth and the concept of empirical character are soldered into one."
Creativity
"It would be wrong to assume that one must stay with a research programme until it has exhausted all its heuristic power, that one must not introduce a rival programme before everybody agrees that the point of degeneration has probably been reached."
