There are many hypotheses in science which are wrong. That's perfectly all right; they're the aperture to finding out what's right. Science is a self-correcting process. To be accepted, new ideas must survive the most rigorous standards of evidence and scrutiny.

  • -- Carl Sagan 卡尔·萨根

科学上有许多假说是错误的。完全没问题;他们是发现什么是对的孔。科学是一个自我修正的过程。要被接受,新思想必须经受住最严格的证据标准和审查。
