For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy.

I have argued flying saucers with lots of people. I was interested in possible. They do not appreciate that the problem is not to demonstrate whether it's possible or not but whether it's going on or not.

But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.

Any schemes - such as 'think of symmetry laws', or 'put the information in mathematical form', or 'guess equations'- are known to everybody now, and they are all tried all the time. When you are stuck, the answer cannot be one of these, because you will have tried these right away...The next scheme, the new discovery, is going to be made in a completely different way.

I find that teaching and the students keep life going, and I would never accept any position in which somebody has invented a happy situation for me where I don't have to teach. Never.

But logic is not all, one needs one's heart to follow an idea.

I am not interested in what today's mathematicians find interesting.
