A theory that is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific.
Theories of mind are developed through interaction and social experiences in early life.
From The Philosophical Baby by Alison Gopnik
The limits of computation are defined by the Turing machine.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings.
Normal science does not aim at novelties of fact or theory.
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn
Any computation can be performed by a Turing machine.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
The idea of a universal machine is a powerful one that can simulate any other machine.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
A paradigm shift occurs when a new theory emerges that offers a better explanation of the data.
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn
The concept of 'algorithm' is central to computer science.

The Turing machine is a model of computation.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
The Turing machine is a simple abstract device that can simulate any computer algorithm.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
The secret to unlocking flow lies in the challenge-skills balance.
From The Rise of Superman by Steven Kotler
It is the theory that decides what we can observe.
Theories are nets cast to catch what we call 'the world': to rationalize, to explain, and to master it.
Theories are not merely tools for prediction but also serve as the basis for the interpretation of new observations.
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn
In a sense, every computer is a Turing machine.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
To see color is to see the world differently.
A complete theory of consciousness must include both physical and phenomenal aspects.
From The Conscious Mind by David Chalmers
The interplay of colors can create harmony or chaos.
A Turing machine is a theoretical model that helps us understand computation.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
A strange loop is a level in a hierarchy that, by ascending or descending, ends up in the same place.
In the end, all algorithms are approximations.
From The Master Algorithm by Pedro Domingos
The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.
From The Master Algorithm by Pedro Domingos
Theories can only be tested against the background of a theoretical framework.
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn
To be moral is to act according to the dictates of reason.
Understanding color can deepen our connection to the world around us.
We cannot expect the world to fit our theories.
Each color has its own story, a narrative woven into the fabric of life.
The history of color is a history of human emotion.
Success in sports is often determined by how well you can read the game.
From The Playmaker's Advantage by Leonard Zaichkowsky and Daniel Peterson
A theory that is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific.
Color is a language we all understand, regardless of culture.
Metaphysics is not a science, but a mere pre-science.
A Turing machine can be in one of a finite number of states.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
What we see when we look at the world is determined not only by the world we see but also by the theories we hold.
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn
Information is a measure of the uncertainty of a system.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
There are problems that are not computable.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
Theories are replaced by new theories that explain the same phenomena in a different way.
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn
Theories are nets cast to catch what we call 'the world'.
In the game of evolution, the players are organisms, and the rules are set by nature.
From The Red Queen by Matt Ridley
Theories are not simply true or false; they are also more or less useful.
From The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas S. Kuhn
Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.
We cannot make our observations free from theory.
The concept of 'computability' helps us to understand what can and cannot be computed.
From The Annotated Turing by Charles Petzold
The Red Queen hypothesis states that organisms must constantly adapt to survive while pitted against ever-evolving opposing organisms.
From The Red Queen by Matt Ridley
The clash of theories is often where the truth emerges.
From The Theory That Would Not Die by Sharon Bertsch McGrayne
Every genuine test of a theory is an attempt to falsify it, or to refute it.
