In science:
Although such signaling contradicts in every sense the convictions of what is feasible in physics after Michelson-Morley and related experiments, it doesn’t bear causal loops while only one single frame is assumed.
Is there a real time ordering behind the nonlocal correlations?
It is our conviction that the important metric spaces studied in probability theory have recognizable Boolean inclusions, and that proving this in each individual case should not be too difficult.
Uniform test of algorithmic randomness over a general space
Our conviction is that the definition of the standard oracle is far too “classical” to bring out the full potential of a quantum system and thus mainly responsible for such unsavory results.
Comparative Computational Strength of Quantum Oracles
The horrifying smallness of the expected quantum-gravity effects, due to the overall suppression by powers of the ratio of the Planck length (Lp ∼ 10−35m) versus the characteristic wavelength of the particles involved in the process, had led to the conviction that experiments could never possibly help.
A perspective on Quantum Gravity Phenomenology
Based on these consideration, it is my conviction that the physics case for a super B -factory is compelling.
The Physics Case for an e^+ e^- Super B-Factory
Although it is common conviction that a unified mathematical framework describing both gravity and quantum phenomena should exist, it seems to be still out of reach.
Supersymmetric Gauge Theories from String Theory
The argument satisfyingly flows along, conveying that conviction, occasionally with reservations, to the reader.

Probing the Impact of Stellar Duplicity on Planet Occurrence with Spectroscopic and Imaging Observations
Our conviction of its effectiveness was strongly reinforced when we obtained the best result for the 3D case.
Two-dimensional body of maximum mean resistance
To the degree that systems theory does not merely make its specific disciplinary contribution with the system of the sciences but also penetrates the lifeworld with its claim to universality, it replaces metaphysical background convictions with metabiological ones.

The study of solar flares is becoming popular among the researchers working at the frontier of statistical mechanics, due to the widely shared conviction that they are a signature of a significant departure from the condition of ordinary Brownian motion [1–4].
Diffusion entropy and waiting time statistics of hard x-ray solar flares
Concluding, we have the strong conviction that the Doppler effect approach to study the thermal SZ effect is not only very clear from the physical point of view, it also contains ingredients which are promising for further studies more advantageous than those offered by the diffusive model.

Every day it helps convict the guilty, exonerate the innocent, and reveal the subtleties of real world situations that interested parties may try to hide in biased, oversimplified verbal accounts of what happened.
