“Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain, gaining new and wider views, discovering unexpected connections between our starting points and its rich environment.

If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.”
