Science progresses not by convincing the adherents of old theories that they are wrong, but by allowing enough time to pass so that a new generation can arise unencumbered by the old errors.

Errors Old Progress Science Theory
The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality.

It is impossible to make a clear cut between science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of its various parts.

Art Equality Impossible Religion Science Simplicity
Truth never triumphs-its opponents just die out.

Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

Mystery Nature Ourselves Science Try
Scientific work will never stop, and it would be terrible if it did. If there were no more problems, you would put your hands in your pockets and your head on a pillow and would work no more. In science rest is stagnation, rest is death.

We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.

An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature and a measurement is the recording of Nature’s answer.

In all my research I have never come across matter. To me the term matter implies a bundle of energy which is given form by an intelligent spirit.

The scientist needs an artistically creative imagination.

An indispensable hypothesis, even though still far from being a guarantee of success, is however the pursuit of a specific aim, whose lighted beacon, even by initial failures, is not betrayed.
