If An Army Of Monkeys

Every Body Continues In Its State Of Rest Or Uniform Motion In A Straight Line, Except Insofar As It Doesn't.

It Is Impossible To Trap Modern Physics Into Predicting Anything With Perfect Determinism Because It Deals With Probabilities From The Outset.

Our Model Of Nature Should Not Be Like A Building-a Handsome Structure For The Populace To Admire, Until In The Course Of Time Some One Takes Away A Corner Stone And The Edifice Comes Toppling Down. It Should Be Like An Engine With Movable Parts. We Need Not Fix The Position Of Any One Lever; That Is To Be Adjusted From Time To Time As The Latest Observations Indicate. The Aim Of The Theorist Is To Know The Train Of Wheels Which The Lever Sets In Motion-that Binding Of The Parts Which Is The Soul Of The Engine.

I Don't Believe Any Experiment Until It Is Confirmed By Theory. I Find This Is A Witty Inversion Of "conventional" Wisdom.

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