“Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are a part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.”

英语

“科学无法解开自然的终极之谜。因为归根结底,我们自己就是我们试图解开的谜团的一部分。”

《科学往何处去?》

“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.”

英语

“一个新的科学真理不是通过说服反对者并让他们看到光明而胜利的,而是因为反对者最终都去世了,而熟悉它的新一代成长了起来。”
