Experimenters Are The Shock Troops Of Science.

This Is One Of Man's Oldest Riddles. How Can The Independence Of Human Volition Be Harmonized With The Fact That We Are Integral Parts Of A Universe Which Is Subject To The Rigid Order Of Nature's Laws?

A New Truth Always Has To Conend With Many Difficulties. If It Were Not So, It Would Have Been Discovered Much Sooner.

What Led Me To My Science And What Fascinated Me From A Young Age Was The, By No Means Self-evident, Fact That Our Laws Of Thought Agree With The Regularities Found In The Succession Of Impressions We Receive From The External World, That It Is Thus Possible For The Human Being To Gain Enlightenment Regarding These Regularities By Means Of Pure Thought

Modern Physics Has Taught Us That The Nature Of Any System Cannot Be Discovered By Dividing It Into Its Component Parts And Studying Each Part By Itself... We Must Keep Our Attention Fixed On The Whole And On The Interconnection Between The Parts. The Same Is True Of Our Intellectual Life. It Is Impossible To Make A Clear Cut Between Science, Religion, And Art. The Whole Is Never Equal Simply To The Sum Of Its Various Parts.

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.
