One Thing That Makes The Adventure Of

My Colleagues In Elementary Particle Theory In Many Lands [and I] Are Driven By The Usual Insatiable Curiosity Of The Scientist, And Our Work Is A Delightful Game. I Am Frequently Astonished That It So Often Results In Correct Predictions Of Experimental Results. How Can It Be That Writing Down A Few Simple And Elegant Formulae, Like Short Poems Governed By Strict Rules Such As Those Of The Sonnet Or The Waka, Can Predict Universal Regularities Of Nature?

All Of Modern Physics Is Governed By That Magnificent And Thoroughly Confusing Discipline Called Quantum Mechanics ... It Has Survived All Tests And There Is No Reason To Believe That There Is Any Flaw In It. We All Know How To Use It And How To Apply It To Problems; And So We Have Learned To Live With The Fact That Nobody Can Understand It.

We Are Driven By The Usual Insatiable Curiosity Of The Scientist, And Our Work Is A Delightful Game.

One Thing That Makes The Adventure Of Working In Our Field Particularly Rewarding, Especially In Attempting To Improve The Theory, Is That... A Chief Criterion For The Selection Of A Correct Hypothesis... Seems To Be The Criterion Of Beauty, Simplicity, Or Elegance.

If I Have Seen Further Than Others, It Is Because I Am Surrounded By Dwarfs.
