Quotes

  • It is very important, especially today, for the public to comprehend what science is: that it is a constantly developing human enterprise that is making amazing advances in understanding how nature, including ourselves, operates.
  • Relativity was a highly technical new theory that gave new meanings to familiar concepts and even to the nature of the theory itself. The general public looked upon relativity as indicative of the seemingly incomprehensible modern era, educated scientists despaired of ever understanding what Einstein had done, and political ideologues used the new theory to exploit public fears and anxieties—all of which opened a rift between science and the broader culture that continues to expand today.
