Physics As We Know It Will Be

I Am Now Convinced That Theoretical Physics Is Actually Philosophy.

Science Is Not Formal Logic-it Needs The Free Play Of The Mind In As Great A Degree As Any Other Creative Art. It Is True That This Is A Gift Which Can Hardly Be Taught, But Its Growth Can Be Encouraged In Those Who Already Posses It.

It Is A Fascinating Fact That Father And Son Have Given The Most Striking Evidence For The Apparently Contradictory Properties Of The Electron: The Father Proving Its Character As A Particle, The Son Its Character As A Wave... Thomson Was Extremely Proud Of His Son's Success And Tried To Assimilate The New Results Into His Old Convictions.

The Belief That There Is Only One Truth And That Oneself Is In Possession Of It Seems To Me The Deepest Root Of All Evil That Is In The World.

I Believe There Is No Philosophical High-road In Science, With Epistemological Signposts. No, We Are In A Jungle And Find Our Way By Trial And Error, Building Our Road Behind Us As We Proceed.
