In Any Attempt To Bridge The Domains

Observation And Theory Get On Best When They Are Mixed Together, Both Helping One Another In The Pursuit Of Truth. It Is A Good Rule Not To Put Overmuch Confidence In A Theory Until It Has Been Confirmed By Observation. I Hope I Shall Not Shock The Experimental Physicists Too Much If I Add That It Is Also A Good Rule Not To Put Overmuch Confidence In The Observational Results That Are Put Forward Until They Have Been Confirmed By Theory.

In The World Of Physics We Watch A Shadowgraph Performance Of The Drama Of Familiar Life. The Shadow Of My Elbow Rests On The Shadow Table As The Shadow Ink Flows Over The Shadow Paper. It Is All Symbolic, And As A Symbol The Physicist Leaves It. ... The Frank Realisation That Physical Science Is Concerned With A World Of Shadows Is One Of The Most Significant Of Recent Advances.

We Often Think That When We Have Completed Our Study Of One We Know All About Two, Because 'two' Is 'one And One.' We Forget That We Still Have To Make A Study Of 'and.'

So Far As Physics Is Concerned, Time's Arrow Is A Property Of Entropy Alone.

It Is Impossible To Trap Modern Physics Into Predicting Anything With Perfect Determinism Because It Deals With Probabilities From The Outset.
