    Theory is when you know everything,
    but nothing works.
    Practice is when everything works,
    but nobody knows why.
    In our lab, theory and practice are
    combined. Nothing works and nobody
    knows why.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

    That's why a good lab tech is more valuable than anyone appreciates.

    Theory is when you think that you know how it should work, but it don't
    work as it should.

    That's a Hypothesis. Theory is how you struggle to explain how experiment shows it works.

    When theory is correct the practice works. But then the theory becomes
    truth.
