The electron, as it leaves the atom, crystallises out of Schrodinger's mist like a genie emerging from his bottle.

Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, except insofar as it doesn't.

The mathematics is not there till we put it there.

Our ultimate analysis of space leads us not to a "here" and a "there," but to an extension such as that which relates "here" and "there." To put the conclusion rather crudely-space is not a lot of points close together; it is a lot of distances interlocked.

Science is one thing, wisdom is another. Science is an edged tool, with which men play like children, and cut their own fingers.

A star is drawing on some vast reservoir of energy by means unknown to us. This reservoir can scarcely be other than the subatomic energy which, it is known exists abundantly in all matter; we sometimes dream that man will one day learn how to release it and use it for his service. The store is well nigh inexhaustible, if only it could be tapped. There is sufficient in the Sun to maintain its output of heat for 15 billion years.

Don't believe the results of experiments until they're confirmed by theory.
