137 ;;Quote: a scientific program encourages work on its positive heuristics rather than on anomalies; hopefully, anomalies will disappear

151 ;;Quote: relatively few experiments are really important in a scientific program; testing is not important to theoretical physicists

162 ;;Quote: the importance of the Michelson-Morley experiment was not seen for 25 years; they thought it supported Stoke's ether theory

162+;;Quote: Einstein was unaware of Michelson, Fitzgerald and Lorentz; stimulated primarily by Mach's criticism of Newtonian mechanics

172 ;;Quote: science is not based on instant rationality and learning, even though it is presented as such

172+;;Quote: rationality works much slower than most people tend to think, and, even then, fallibly

173 ;;Quote: science does not proceed by crucial experiments that instantly overthrow a research program; crucial experiments only after the fact

174 ;;Quote: science is a battleground of research programs rather than isolated theories; some dogmatism is rational

175 ;;Quote: a mature science has a research program that anticipates novel auxiliary theories; it has heuristic power and avoids trial-and-error

187 ;;Quote: Newton's principle of gravitational attraction at a distance received much ridicule
