Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use.
The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.
Nature’s great book is written in mathematics.
Mathematics is the key and door to the sciences.
You and I are made of stardust. We are the stuff of exploded stars. We are therefore, at least 1 way that the Universe knows itself. That, to me, is astonishing.
SCIENCE is a part of EVERYONE’S everyday life.
If you aren’t confused by quantum mechanics, you haven’t really understood it.
Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.
Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.
Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts.
I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.
Teach principles not formulas.
Scientists are explorers. Philosophers are tourists.
Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that.
For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
