Science is of value because it can produce something.

We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries.

If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives.

The shell game that we play ... is technically called 'renormalization'. But no matter how clever the word, it is still what I would call a dippy process! Having to resort to such hocus-pocus has prevented us from proving that the theory of quantum electrodynamics is mathematically self-consistent. It's surprising that the theory still hasn't been proved self-consistent one way or the other by now; I suspect that renormalization is not mathematically legitimate.

You see, I get such fun out of thinking that I don't want to destroy this most pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.

I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
