Pick A Flower On Earth And You

Just By Studying Mathematics We Can Hope To Make A Guess At The Kind Of Mathematics That Will Come Into The Physics Of The Future... If Someone Can Hit On The Right Lines Along Which To Make This Development, It May Lead To A Future Advance In Which People Will First Discover The Equations And Then, After Examining Them, Gradually Learn How To Apply Them... My Own Belief Is That This Is A More Likely Line Of Progress Than Trying To Guess At Physical Pictures.

No. I Had Successfully Solved The Difficulty Of Finding A Description Of The Electron Which Was Consistent With Both Relativity And Quantum Mechanics. Of Course, When You Solve One Difficulty, Other New Difficulties Arise. You Then Try To Sove Them. You Can Never Solve All Difficulties At Once.

One Could Perhaps Describe The Situation By Saying That God Is A Mathematician Of A Very High Order, And He Used Very Advanced Mathematics In Constructing The Universe.

I Do Not See How A Man Can Work On The Frontiers Of Physics And Write Poetry At The Same Time. They Are In Opposition. In Science You Want To Say Something That Nobody Knew Before, In Words Which Everyone Can Understand. In Poetry You Are Bound To Say ... Something That Everyone Knows Already In Words That Nobody Can Understand. Commenting To Him About The Poetry J. Robert Oppenheimer Wrote.

Living Is Worthwhile If One Can Contribute In Some Small Way To This Endless Chain Of Progress.
