"I’m doing a book, ‘Chasing Science,’ about the pleasures of science as a spectator sport." ― Frederik Pohl Topic(s): Science More From Frederik Pohl "Stephen Hawking said he spent most of his first couple of years at Cambridge reading science fiction (and I believe that, because his grades weren’t all that great)." "People ask me how I do research for my science fiction. The answer is, I never do any research." "A lot of the cosmologists and astrophysicists clearly had been reading science fiction." More In Science "I’m an amateur science enthusiast. I’m not even a professional enthusiast. I don’t know anything; I never even passed biology in high school. But I read the science section of the newspaper."― Dave Eggers "Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena."― Wilhelm Reich "You cannot be politically correct in a war."― Rupert Everett
