Limitations of Science}[26th June 1989]

A
Scientist’s speculations, as such, are no more valuable than anyone
else’s, and maybe a good deal less so. No more, from my point of
view: less, from his. This is because Science in the narrow modern
sense has no room for speculation, taking into account only what is
by scientific methods proved.
It
is particularly important to remember this when we come across
theoretical physicists’ speculative models of the Universe, the
choice of which may well be fairly arbitrary.
