For Me, The Study Of These Laws Is Inseparable From A Love Of Nature In All Its Manifestations. The Beauty Of The Basic Laws Of Natural Science, As Revealed In The Study Of Particles And Of The Cosmos, Is Allied To The Litheness Of A Merganser Diving In A Pure Swedish Lake, Or The Grace Of A Dolphin Leaving Shining Trails At Night In The Gulf Of California.

Perhaps We See Equations As Simple Because They Are Easily Expressed In Terms Of Mathematical Notation Already Invented At An Earlier Stage Of Development Of The Science, And Thus What Appears To Us As Elegance Of Description Really Reflects The Interconnectedness Of Nature's Laws At Different Levels.
