  • Macroscopic objects, as we see them all around us, are governed by a variety of forces, derived from a variety of approximations to a variety of physical theories. In contrast, the only elements in the construction of black holes are our basic concepts of space and time. They are, thus, almost by definition, the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe.

But there is nothing mean or lowly in standing in the valley below and awaiting the sun to rise over Kinchinjunga.

    Mean   Science   Air  
    Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Kameshwar C. Wali (2001). “A Quest for Perspectives: Selected Works of S. Chandrasekhar : with Commentary”, p.1286, World Scientific
  • Indeed, I would feel that an appreciation of the arts in a conscious, disciplined way might help one to do science better.
