If We Are Honest - And Scientists

The Shortage Of Buyers, Which The World Is Suffering From, Is Readily Understood, Not As Due To People Not Wishing To Obtain Possession Of Goods, But As People Being Unwilling To Part With Something Which Might Earn A Regular Income In Exchange For Those Goods.

The Fundamental Laws Necessary For The Mathematical Treatment Of A Large Part Of Physics And The Whole Of Chemistry Are Thus Completely Known, And The Difficulty Lies Only In The Fact That Application Of These Laws Leads To Equations That Are Too Complex To Be Solved.

I Admired Bohr Very Much. We Had Long Talks Together, Long Talks In Which Bohr Did Practically All The Talking.

The Physicist, In His Study Of Natural Phenomena, Has Two Methods Of Making Progress: (1) The Method Of Experiment And Observation, And (2) The Method Of Mathematical Reasoning. The Former Is Just The Collection Of Selected Data; The Latter Enables One To Infer Results About Experiments That Have Not Been Performed. There Is No Logical Reason Why The Second Method Should Be Possible At All, But One Has Found In Practice That It Does Work And Meets With Reasonable Success.

I Think It Is A Peculiarity Of Myself That I Like To Play About With Equations, Just Looking For Beautiful Mathematical Relations Which Maybe Don't Have Any Physical Meaning At All. Sometimes They Do. At Age 60.
