The Tool Which Serves As Intermediary Between

Galileo Was No Idiot. Only An Idiot Could Believe That Science Requires Martyrdom - That May Be Necessary In Religion, But In Time A Scientific Result Will Establish Itself.

The Tool Which Serves As Intermediary Between Theory And Practice, Between Thought And Observation, Is Mathematics; It Is Mathematics Which Builds The Linking Bridges And Gives The Ever More Reliable Forms.

However Unapproachable These Problems May Seem To Us And However Helpless We Stand Before Them, We Have, Nevertheless, The Firm Conviction That Their Solution Must Follow By A Finite Number Of Purely Logical Processes.

Mathematics Is A Presuppositionless Science. To Found It I Do Not Need God, As Does Kronecker, Or The Assumption Of A Special Faculty Of Our Understanding Attuned To The Principle Of Mathematical Induction, As Does Poincaré, Or The Primal Intuition Of Brouwer, Or, Finally, As Do Russell And Whitehead, Axioms Of Infinity, Reducibility, Or Completeness, Which In Fact Are Actual, Contentual Assumptions That Cannot Be Compensated For By Consistency Proofs.
