I Am Now Convinced That

Science Is Not Formal Logic-it Needs The Free Play Of The Mind In As Great A Degree As Any Other Creative Art. It Is True That This Is A Gift Which Can Hardly Be Taught, But Its Growth Can Be Encouraged In Those Who Already Posses It.

I Have Tried To Read Philosophers Of All Ages And Have Found Many Illuminating Ideas But No Steady Progress Toward Deeper Knowledge And Understanding. Science, However, Gives Me The Feeling Of Steady Progress: I Am Convinced That Theoretical Physics Is Actual Philosophy. It Has Revolutionized Fundamental Concepts, E.g., About Space And Time (relativity), About Causality (quantum Theory), And About Substance And Matter (atomistics), And It Has Taught Us New Methods Of Thinking (complementarity) Which Are Applicable Far Beyond Physics.

My Advice To Those Who Which To Learn The Art Of Scientific Prophesy Is Not To Rely On Abstract Reason, But To Decipher The Secret Language Of Nature From Nature's Documents: The Facts Of Experience.

We Need To Make A World In Which Fewer Children Are Born, And In Which We Take Better Care Of Them.
