Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “The mathematics is not there till we put it there.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “There was a time when we wanted to be told what an electron is. The question was never answered. No familiar conceptions can be woven around the electron; it belongs to the waiting list.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “What we makes of the world must be largely dependent on the sense-organs that we happen to possess. How the world must have changed since the man came to rely on his eyes rather than his nose.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “Never trust an experimental result until it has been confirmed by theory.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “The actuality of Nature is like the beauty of Nature. We can scarcely describe the beauty of a landscape as non-existent when there is no conscious being to witness it; but it is through consciousness that we can attribute a meaning to it. And so it is with the actuality of the world. If actuality means ‘known to mind’ then it is a purely subjective character of the world; to make it objective we must substitute ‘knowable to mind’.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “We know the prodigality of Nature. How many acorns are scattered for one that grows to an oak? And need she be more careful of her stars than of her acorns? If indeed she has no grander aim than to provide a home for her greatest experiment, Man, it would be just like her methods to scatter a million stars whereof one might haply achieve her purpose.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “If the laws of physics are not strictly causal the most that can be said is that the behaviour of the conscious brain is one of the possible behaviours of a mechanical brain. Precisely so; and the decision between the possible behaviours is what we call volition.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “Of the two alternatives – a curved manifold in a Euclidean space of ten dimensions or a manifold with non-Euclidean geometry and no extra dimensions – which is right? I would rather not attempt a direct answer, because I fear I should get lost in a fog of metaphysics. But I may say at once that I do not take the ten dimensions seriously; whereas I take the non-Euclidean geometry of the world very seriously, and I do not regard it as a thing which needs explaining away.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “The epithet “revolutionary” is usually reserved for two great modern developments – the Relativity Theory and the Quantum Theory. These are not merely new discoveries as to the content of the world; they involve changes in our mode of thought about the world.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “Consciousness is not wholly, nor even primarily a device for receiving sense-impressions.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “Just as we were misled into untenable ideas of the aether through trusting to an analogy with the material ocean, so we have been misled into untenable ideas of the attributes of the microscopic elements of world-structure through trusting to analogy with gross particles.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “You will understand the true spirit neither of science nor of religion unless seeking is placed in the forefront.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington Quote: “The revelation by modern physics of the void within the atom is more disturbing than the revelation by astronomy of the immense void of interstellar space.”
