Everything That Is Not Forbidden Is Compulsory.

In Our Work, We Are Always Between Scylla And Charybdis; We May Fail To Abstract Enough, And Miss Important Physics, Or We May Abstract Too Much And End Up With Fictitious Objects In Our Models Turning Into Real Monsters That Devour Us.

I Do Not Keep Up With The Details Of Particle Physics.

Think How Hard Physics Would Be If Particles Could Think

For Me, The Study Of These Laws Is Inseparable From A Love Of Nature In All Its Manifestations. The Beauty Of The Basic Laws Of Natural Science, As Revealed In The Study Of Particles And Of The Cosmos, Is Allied To The Litheness Of A Merganser Diving In A Pure Swedish Lake, Or The Grace Of A Dolphin Leaving Shining Trails At Night In The Gulf Of California.

What Is Especially Striking And Remarkable Is That In Fundamental Physics A Beautiful Or Elegant Theory Is More Likely To Be Right Than A Theory That Is Inelegant.
