Physics Is Becoming Too Difficult

We Do Not Master A Scientific Theory Until We Have Shelled And Completely Prised Free Its Mathematical Kernel.

The Art Of Doing Mathematics Consists In Finding That Special Case Which Contains All The Germs Of Generality.

I Do Not Want To Presuppose Anything As Known. I See In My Explanation In Section 1 The Definition Of The Concepts Point, Straight Line And Plane, If One Adds To These All The Axioms Of Groups I-v As Characteristics. If One Is Looking For Other Definitions Of Point, Perhaps By Means Of Paraphrase In Terms Of Extensionless, Etc., Then, Of Course, I Would Most Decidedly Have To Oppose Such An Enterprise. One Is Then Looking For Something That Can Never Be Found, For There Is Nothing There, And Everything Gets Lost, Becomes Confused And Vague, And Degenerates Into A Game Of Hide And Seek.

Mathematics Knows No Races Or Geographic Boundaries; For Mathematics, The Cultural World Is One Country.

Geometry, Like Arithmetic, Requires For Its Logical Development Only A Small Number Of Simple, Fundamental Principles. These Fundamental Principles Are Called The Axioms Of Geometry.
