“ [I do not believe] in a personal God, let alone a Christian God. ”
It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
~ Max Planck

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
The assumption of an absolute determinism is the essential foundation of every scientific enquiry.
