Quotes
- “The optimist believes that this is the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears that this might be the case.”
- “We do not discover mathematical truths; we remember them from our passages through this world outside our own.”
- “The world is full, at every scale, and every scale ignores the higher and lower ones.”
- “So every possible reality, once God gives it existence, will reveal its own identity. Its life will unfold slowly, whereas God encompasses it at a single glance.”
- “Nowadays, however, we are much more aware of the fact that the best proof in the world is worth no more than its premises: every scientific theory is transitory and provisional, in wait for a better one, and accepted only as long as the experimental results conform to its predictions.”
- “It is a testimony to the power of education that classical mechanics could operate for so long under a mistaken conception. Teaching and research concentrated on integrable systems, each feeding the other, until in the end we had no longer the tools nor the interest for studying nonintegrable systems.”
