Quotes

• “Science is competitive, aggressive, demanding. It is also imaginative, inspiring, uplifting.”
• “We have peered into a new world and have seen that it is more mysterious and more complex than we had imagined. Still more mysteries of the universe remain hidden. Their discovery awaits the adventurous scientists of the future. I like it this way.”
• “There is one alternative to dark matter, and that is the assumption that Newton's laws don't hold over distances as great as galaxies. But we know that Newton's laws hold over a very large domain. And virtually one hundred percent of the physics and astronomy community believes that there is matter in the universe that does not radiate.”
• “Science progresses best when observations force us to alter our preconceptions.”
• “It is well known that I am available twenty-four hours a day to women astronomers.”
• “How stars move tell us that most matter in the universe is dark. When we see stars in the sky, we're only seeing five or 10 percent of the matter that there is in the universe.”
