Body and soul are not two different things, but only two different ways of perceiving the same thing. Similarly, physics and psychology are only different attempts to link our experiences together by way of systematic thought.
Albert Einstein
Image

Albert Einstein
Image
Non-cooperation in military matters should be an essential moral principle for all true scientists.
