We Have No Right To Assume That Any Physical Laws Exist, Or If They Have Existed Up Until Now, That They Will Continue To Exist In A Similar Manner In The Future.

All Matter Originates And Exists Only By Virtue Of A Force.

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.

The Quantum Hypothesis Will Eventually Find Its Exact Expression In Certain Equations Which Will Be A More Exact Formulation Of The Law Of Causality.

We Are In A Position Similar To That Of A Mountaineer Who Is Wandering Over Uncharted Spaces, And Never Knows Whether Behind The Peak Which He Sees In Front Of Him And Which He Tries To Scale There May Not Be Another Peak Still Beyond And Higher Up.
