The Evolution of Physics: From Early Concepts to Relativity and Quanta QUOTES

1 " Science can only ascertain what is, but not what should be, and outside of its domain value, elly judgments of all kinds remain necessary. "

― Albert Einstein , The Evolution of Physics: From Early Concepts to Relativity and Quanta

2 " The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either CS [coordinate system] could be used with equal justification. The two sentences, “the Sun is at rest and the Earth moves,” or “the Sun moves and the Earth is at rest,” would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS. "

― Albert Einstein , The Evolution of Physics: From Early Concepts to Relativity and Quanta

3 " Fundamental ideas play the most essential role in forming a physical theory. Books on physics are full of complicated mathematical formulae. But thought and ideas, not formulae, are the beginning of every physical theory. "
