More quotes by Hermann Bondi
The scientist … must always be prepared to deal with the unknown. It is an essential part of science that you should be able to describe matters in a way where you can say something without knowing everything.
Hermann Bondi
Time is that which is manufactured by clocks.
Hermann Bondi
The landscape has been so totally changed, the ways of thinking have been so deeply affected, that it is very hard to get hold of what it was like before… It is very hard to realize how total a change in outlook Isaac Newton has produced.
Hermann Bondi
Our humanist attitude should therefore throughout be to stress what we all have in common with each other and relegate quarrelsome religion to the private domain where it can do [less] harm.
Hermann Bondi
... an opportunity to allow the bees in one's bonnet to buzz even more noisily than usual.
Hermann Bondi
We find no sense in talking about something unless we specify how we measure it a definition by the method of measuring a quantity is the one sure way of avoiding talking nonsense.
Hermann Bondi
[Newton's calculations] entered the marrow of what we know without knowing how we know it.
Hermann Bondi

Hermann Bondi
