“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
--- Max Planck (1858 – 1838)
“The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility…The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle.”
--- Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955).
“I firmly disbelieve, myself, that our human experience is the highest form of experience extant in the universe. I believe rather that we stand in much the same relationship to the whole of the universe as our canine and feline pets do to the whole of human life. They inhabit our drawing-rooms and libraries. They take part in scenes of whose significance they have no inkling. They are merely tangent to curves of history the beginnings and ends and forms of which pass wholly beyond their ken. So we are tangent to the life of things.”
--- William James (1842 – 1910)
