The Greatest Of The Changes That Science

Both The Man Of Science And The Man Of Art Live Always At The Edge Of Mystery, Surrounded By It. Both, As A Measure Of Their Creation, Have Always Had To Do With The Harmonization Of What Is New With What Is Familiar, With The Balance Between Novelty And Synthesis, With The Struggle To Make Partial Order In Total Chaos.... This Cannot Be An Easy Life.

When You See Something That Is Technically Sweet, You Go Ahead And Do It And You Argue About What To Do About It Only After You Have Had Your Technical Success. That Is The Way It Was With The Atomic Bomb.

There Must Be No Barriers To Freedom Of Inquiry... There Is No Place For Dogma In Science. The Scientist Is Free, And Must Be Free To Ask Any Question, To Doubt Any Assertion, To Seek For Any Evidence, To Correct Any Errors. Our Political Life Is Also Predicated On Openness. We Know That The Only Way To Avoid Error Is To Detect It And That The Only Way To Detect It Is To Be Free To Inquire. And We Know That As Long As Men Are Free To Ask What They Must, Free To Say What They Think, Free To Think What They Will, Freedom Can Never Be Lost, And Science Can Never Regress.

Any Man Whose Errors Take Ten Years To Correct Is Quite A Man.

The History Of Science Is Rich In Example Of The Fruitfulness Of Bringing Two Sets Of Techniques, Two Sets Of Ideas, Developed In Separate Contexts For The Pursuit Of New Truth, Into Touch With One Another.
