Some interesting quotes1 from 20th century
“Experiments are the
only means of knowledge at our disposal.
The rest is poetry, imagination.”------Max Planck
“Imagination is more
important than knowledge.”------Albert Einstein
“How can you do both
physics and poetry ? In physics we try to explain
in simple terms something that nobody knew before. In poetry it is the
exact opposite.”
-------P.A.M. Dirac to Oppenheimer
“When theory and
experiment agree, that is the time to be especially suspicious.”
-------Niels
Bohr
“the more accurate the
calculations became the more the concepts tended to vanish into thin
air.”-------R. S. Mulliken, J. Chem.
Phys. 43, S2 (1965)
