Quotes about hypothesis

1. The hypothesis of God, for instance, gives an incomparably absolute opportunity to understand everything and know absolutely nothing. Give man an extremely simplified system of the world and explain every phenomenon away on the basis of that system. An approach like that doesn't require any knowledge. Just a few memorized formulas plus so-called intuition and so-called common sense.
- Arkady Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic

2. There is a philosophy that says that if something is unobservable -- unobservable in principle -- it is not part of science.

- Leonard Susskind, The Black Hole War: My Battle with Stephen Hawking to Make the World Safe for Quantum Mechanics
