Here are some quotes from scientist Robert
Oppenheimer, who was born on this date in 1904.
- The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true.
- It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they were found because it was possible to find them.
- There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors.
- Science is not everything, but science is very beautiful.
- Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man.
- The peoples of this world must unite or they will perish.
- Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.
- Genius sees the answer before the question.
- The best way to send information is to wrap it up in a person.
- In a free world, if it is to remain free, we must maintain, with our lives if need be, but surely by our lives, the opportunity for a man to learn anything.
