40 ;;Quote: mathematics is organized reasoning that connects statements together; e.g., about the force of gravity
|
47 ;;Quote: unlike the Euclidean method, the Babylonian idea is to remember enough to work something out or reconstruct what is needed
|
53 ;;Quote: physicists do Babylonian mathematics because different formulations of the same law give different clues for related laws
|
55 ;;Quote: the correct laws of physics seem to be expressible in a tremendous variety of ways
|
57 ;;Quote: currently, the laws of physics require infinite computation in an infinitesimal area
|
57+;;Quote: speculate that the machinery of physics will be revealed and it will have simple laws
|
93 ;;Quote: space and time must be interlocked because simultaneous events are relative; 'now' is inconsistent at a distance
|
147 ;;Quote: Nature herself does not even known which way the electron is going to go; intrinsically probabilistic
|
149 ;;Quote: all matter is the same; frogs are made of the same 'goup' as rocks
|
150 ;;Quote: all ordinary phenomena can be explained by particle motions; life is in principle understandable via physics
|
156 ;;Quote: if a computation disagrees with experiment it is wrong; the key to science
|
164 ;;Quote: science is only useful if it tells you about some experiment that has not been done; extend ideas beyond experience
|
166 ;;Quote: space should be discrete because continuous space yields infinities; so geometry does not extend down into infinitely small space
|
167 ;;Quote: partial symmetries such as neutrons/protons may arise out of complexity
|
172 ;;Quote: science can not keep on going; either all the laws will be known or experiments will become too hard and expensive to perform
|
172 ;;Quote: we live in the age that is discovering the fundamental laws of nature; but you only discover them once and the excitement will go away
|
173 ;;Quote: the vigorous philosophy and attention to detail of science may disappear; a degeneration of ideas
