In science, all facts, no matter how trivial or banal, enjoy democratic equality

In my experience, the most staunchly held views are based on ignorance or accepted dogma, not carefully considered accumulations of facts. The more you expose the intricacies and realtities of the situation, the less clear-cut things become.

For every fact there is an infinity of hypotheses.

The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented by new discoveries is exceedingly remote.

We've always tried to report the science, to stick with the facts, to report things as they are and not exaggerate.

Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house.
