Truth Never Triumphs-its Opponents Just

Ego Is The Immediate Dictate Of Human Consciousness.

Those [scientists] Who Dislike Entertaining Contradictory Thoughts Are Unlikely To Enrich Their Science With New Ideas.

As A Man Who Has Devoted His Whole Life To The Most Clear Headed Science, To The Study Of Matter, I Can Tell You As A Result Of My Research About Atoms This Much: There Is No Matter As Such. All Matter Originates And Exists Only By Virtue Of A Force Which Brings The Particle Of An Atom To Vibration And Holds This Most Minute Solar System Of The Atom Together. We Must Assume Behind This Force The Existence Of A Conscious And Intelligent Mind. This Mind Is The Matrix Of All Matter.

The Worth Of A New Idea Is Invariably Determined, Not By The Degree Of Its Intuitiveness-which Incidentally, Is To A Major Extent A Matter Of Experience And Habit-but By The Scope And Accuracy Of The Individual Laws To The Discovery Of Which It Eventually Leads.

This Is One Of Man's Oldest Riddles. How Can The Independence Of Human Volition Be Harmonized With The Fact That We Are Integral Parts Of A Universe Which Is Subject To The Rigid Order Of Nature's Laws?
