In science, "fact" can only mean "confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent." I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.

  • -- Stephen Jay Gould 斯蒂芬·杰·古尔德

在科学上，“事实”只能表示“被证实到一定程度，而不予以暂时的同意是反常的”。我认为苹果明天可能会开始上涨，但这种可能性不值得在物理课堂上花同样的时间。
