More quotes by James Jeans
We have already considered with disfavour the possibility of the universe having been planned by a biologist or an engineer from the intrinsic evidence of his creation, the Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure mathematician.
James Jeans
Life exists in the universe only because the carbon atom possesses certain exceptional properties.
James Jeans
One must stand stiller than still. On reverse time travel.
James Jeans
Humanity is at the very beginning of its existence-a new-born babe, with all the unexplored potentialities of babyhood and until the last few moments its interest has been centred, absolutely and exclusively, on its cradle and feeding bottle.
James Jeans
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.[make the best of what is necessary...if you can't have what you love, love what you have...as there are lovable or at least positive aspects in everything, because anything could be worse]
James Jeans
We may as well cut out group theory. That is a subject that will never be of any use in physics.
James Jeans
All discussion of the ultimate nature of things must necessarily be barren unless we have some extraneous standards against which to compare them.
James Jeans

James Jeans
