It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.

It is also a good rule not to put overmuch confidence in the observational results that are put forward until they are confirmed by theory.

The helium which we handle must have been put together at some time and some place. We do not argue with the critic who urges that the stars are not hot enough for this process; we tell him to go and find a hotter place.

Electrical force is defined as something which causes motion of electrical charge; an electrical charge is something which exerts electric force.

It is reasonable to hope that in the not too distant future we shall be competent to understand so simple a thing as a star.

We are bits of stellar matter that got cold by accident, bits of a star gone wrong.

The physical world is entirely abstract and without actuality apart from its linkage to consciousness.
