When God said "Let there be light" he surely must have meant perfectly coherent light.
Charles Hard TownesThe late Richard Feynman, a superb physicist, said once as we talked about the laser that the way to tell a great idea is that, when people hear it, they say, 'Gee, I could have thought of that.'
Charles Hard TownesAt least this is the way I see it. I am a physicist. I also consider myself a Christian. As I try to understand the nature of our universe in these two modes of thinking, I see many commonalities and crossovers between science and religion. It seems logical that in the long run the two will even converge.
Charles Hard TownesI strongly believe in the existence of God, based on intuition, observations, logic, and also scientific knowledge.
