The Goal Is Nothing Other Than The

When I Began My Physical Studies [in Munich In 1874] And Sought Advice From My Venerable Teacher Philipp Von Jolly...he Portrayed To Me Physics As A Highly Developed, Almost Fully Matured Science...possibly In One Or Another Nook There Would Perhaps Be A Dust Particle Or A Small Bubble To Be Examined And Classified, But The System As A Whole Stood There Fairly Secured, And Theoretical Physics Approached Visibly That Degree Of Perfection Which, For Example, Geometry Has Had Already For Centuries.

It Is Impossible To Make A Clear Cut Between Science, Religion, And Art. The Whole Is Never Equal Simply To The Sum Of Its Various Parts.

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.

Experimenters Are The Shock Troops Of Science.

The Entire World We Apprehend Through Our Senses Is No More Than A Tiny Fragment In The Vastness Of Nature.
