The optimist regards the future as uncertain.

There is no natural phenomenon that is comparable with the sudden and apparently accidentally timed development of science, except perhaps the condensation of a super-saturated gas or the explosion of some unpredictable explosives.

The simplicities of natural laws arise through the complexities of the language we use for their expression.

OK, so the computer has understood, but what about me ?

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.

It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness.

Solipsism may be logically consistent with present Quantum Mechanics, Monism in the sense of Materialism is not.

The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and there is no rational explanation of it.
