The Measure Of Greatness In

When [erwin Schrödinger] Went To The Solvay Conferences In Brussels, He Would Walk From The Station To The Hotel Where The Delegates Stayed, Carrying All His Luggage In A Rucksack And Looking So Like A Tramp That It Needed A Great Deal Of Argument At The Reception Desk Before He Could Claim A Room.

A Great Deal Of My Work Is Just Playing With Equations And Seeing What They Give.

The Fundamental Laws Necessary For The Mathematical Treatment Of A Large Part Of Physics And The Whole Of Chemistry Are Thus Completely Known, And The Difficulty Lies Only In The Fact That Application Of These Laws Leads To Equations That Are Too Complex To Be Solved.

There Is In My Opinion A Great Similarity Between The Problems Provided By The Mysterious Behavior Of The Atom And Those Provided By The Present Economic Paradoxes Confronting The World.

As Time Goes On, It Becomes Increasingly Evident That The Rules Which The Mathematician Finds Interesting Are The Same As Those Which Nature Has Chosen.
