The Scientist Needs An Artistically Creative Imagination.

An Experiment Is A Question Which Science Poses To Nature And A Measurement Is The Recording Of Nature's Answer.

A Scientist Is Happy, Not In Resting On His Attainments But In The Steady Acquisition Of Fresh Knowledge.

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.

Thus, The Photons Which Constitute A Ray Of Light Behave Like Intelligent Human Beings: Out Of All Possible Curves They Always Select The One Which Will Take Them Most Quickly To Their Goal.

The Goal Is Nothing Other Than The Coherence And Completeness Of The System Not Only In Respect Of All Details, But Also In Respect Of All Physicists Of All Places, All Times, All Peoples, And All Cultures.
