In the history of physics, there have been three great revolutions in thought that first seemed absurd yet proved to be true. The first proposed that the earth, instead of being stationary, was moving around at a great and variable speed in a universe that is much bigger than it appears to our immediate perception. That proposal, I believe, was first made by Aristarchos two millenia ago ... Remarkably enough, the name Aristarchos in Greek means best beginning.

Today's science is tomorrow's technology.

If there ever was a misnomer, it is "exact science." Science has always been full of mistakes. The present day is no exception. And our mistakes are good mistakes; they require a genius to correct. Of course, we do not see our own mistakes.

When you're certain you cannot be fooled, you become easy to fool.

In our educational institutions applied science may almost be described as a "no-man's land."

Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.

Two paradoxes are better than one they may even suggest a solution.
