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

There can never be any real opposition between religion and science; for the one is the complement of the other.

Those scientists who dislike entertaining contradictory thoughts are unlikely to enrich their science with new ideas.

There is no matter as such—mind is the matrix of all matter.

The entire world we apprehend through our senses is no more than a tiny fragment in the vastness of Nature.

The man who cannot occasionally imagine events and conditions of existence that are contrary to the causal principle as he knows it will never enrich his science by the addition of a new idea.

The spectral density of black body radiation; represents something absolute, and since the search for the absolutes has always appeared to me to be the highest form of research, I applied myself vigorously to its solution.

The highest court is in the end one’s own conscience and conviction-that goes for you and for Einstein and every other physicist-and before any science there is first of all belief. For me, it is belief in a complete lawfulness in everything that happens.

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.

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

Experiment is the only means of knowledge at our disposal. Everything else is poetry, imagination.

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.

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.

An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out.
