Daily quote |
Albert EinsteinThe whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking. The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case. There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance. Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler. Time is what prevents everything from happening at once. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science. To the Master's honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton's ground. |
