    Math   Science   Return  
    Life on the Mississippi ch. 17 (1883)
  • The effort to understand the universe is one of the very few things that lifts human life a little above the level of farce, and gives it some of the grace of tragedy.

    Life   Education   Money  
    Steven Weinberg (2012). “Facing Up”, p.42, Harvard University Press
  • When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that one day I would be writing a book purporting to show that the central claims of Judeo-Christian theology are in fact true, that these claims are straightforward deductions of the laws of physics as we now understand them. I have been forced into these conclusions by the inexorable logic of my own special branch of physics.

  • Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.

  • If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations - then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation - well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.

    Hope   Science   Errors  
    "The Nature of the Physical World" by Arthur Eddington, (Ch. 4), 1928.
  • Mathematics began to seem too much like puzzle solving. Physics is puzzle solving, too, but of puzzles created by nature, not by the mind of man.

    "A Course in Mathematical Methods for Physicists". Book by Russell L. Herman, p. 53, December 4, 2013.
  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

  • Physics is like sex: sure, it may give some practical results, but that's not why we do it.

    Sex   Learning   Science  
  • Natural science physics contains in itself synthetical judgments a priori, as principles. ... Space then is a necessary representation a priori, which serves for the foundation of all external intuitions.

  • In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you.

    Plato, Julius A. Sigler (1997). “Education: Ends and Means”, p.27, University Press of America
  • In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it is the exact opposite.

    "Brighter Than a Thousand Suns: A Personal History of the Atomic Scientists". Book by by Robert Jungk, as translated by James Cleugh, p. 22, 1958.
  • Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.

  • The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

    Henri Poincare (2012). “The Value of Science: Essential Writings of Henri Poincare”, p.318, Modern Library
  • A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

  • In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
