No Burden Is So Heavy For A

Hitherto The Principle Of Causality Was Universally Accepted As An Indispensable Postulate Of Scientific Research, But Now We Are Told By Some Physicists That It Must Be Thrown Overboard. The Fact That Such An Extraordinary Opinion Should Be Expressed In Responsible Scientific Quarters Is Widely Taken To Be Significant Of The All-round Unreliability Of Human Knowledge. This Indeed Is A Very Serious Situation.

If E Is Considered To Be A Continuously Divisible Quantity, This Distribution Is Possible In Infinitely Many Ways. We Consider, However-this Is The Most Essential Point Of The Whole Calculation-e To Be Composed Of A Well-defined Number Of Equal Parts And Use Thereto The Constant Of Nature H = 6.55 ×10-27 Erg Sec. This Constant Multiplied By The Common Frequency ? Of The Resonators Gives Us The Energy Element E In Erg, And Dividing E By E We Get The Number P Of Energy Elements Which Must Be Divided Over The N Resonators.

Those [scientists] Who Dislike Entertaining Contradictory Thoughts Are Unlikely To Enrich Their Science With New Ideas.

I Had Always Looked Upon The Search For The Absolute As The Noblest And Most Worth While Task Of Science.

Science Progresses Not By Convincing The Adherents Of Old Theories That They Are Wrong, But By Allowing Enough Time To Pass So That A New Generation Can Arise Unencumbered By The Old Errors.
