Quote: all the scientist creates in a fact is the unambiguous language in which he enunciates it

Quotation

In sum, all the scientist creates in a fact is the language in which he enunciates it. If he predicts a fact, he will employ this language, and for all those who can speak and understand it, his prediction is free from ambiguity. Moreover, this prediction once made, it evidently does not depend upon him whether it is fulfilled or not. ... I should add that every scientific fact is formed of many crude facts.   Google-1   Google-2
