So Far As Physics Is

Do Not Put Too Much Confidence In Experimental Results Until They Have Been Confirmed By Theory.

Never Accept A Fact Until It Has Been Verified By Theory.

Observation And Theory Get On Best When They Are Mixed Together, Both Helping One Another In The Pursuit Of Truth. It Is A Good Rule Not To Put Overmuch Confidence In A Theory Until It Has Been Confirmed By Observation. I Hope I Shall Not Shock The Experimental Physicists Too Much If I Add That It Is Also A Good Rule Not To Put Overmuch Confidence In The Observational Results That Are Put Forward Until They Have Been Confirmed By Theory.

I Am Aware That Many Critics Consider The Conditions In The Stars Not Sufficiently Extreme . . . The Stars Are Not Hot Enough. The Critics Lay Themselves Open To An Obvious Retort: We Tell Them To Go And Find A Hotter Place.

The Idea Of A Universal Mind Or Logos Would Be, I Think, A Fairly Plausible Inference From The Present State Of Scientific Theory.
