For David Henn and David Wilkinson
It is a wonderful feeling to recognize the unity of a complex of phenomena that to direct observation appear to be quite separate things.
A LBERT E INSTEIN
The history of science teaches us again and again how the extension of our knowledge may lead to the recognition of relations between formerly unconnected groups of phenomena.
N IELS B OHR
By tracing the arrows of explanation back toward their source, we have discovered a striking convergent patternperhaps the deepest thing we have yet learned about the universe.
S TEVEN W EINBERG
We are at a moment of great convergence, when data, science, and technology are all coming together to unravel the biggest mystery yetour future, as individuals and as a society.
A LBERT -L SZL B ARABSI
We shall not rest satisfied until we are able to represent all physical phenomena as an interplay of a vast number of structural units intrinsically alike.
A RTHUR E DDINGTON
Nature is pleased with simplicity.
I SAAC N EWTON
Everything is made of one hidden stuff.
R ALPH W ALDO E MERSON
All of us secretly wish for an ultimate theory, a master set of rules from which all truth would flow.
R OBERT L AUGHLIN
Reality, in the modern conception, appears as a tremendous hierarchical order of organised entities, leading, in a superposition of many levels, from physical and chemical to biological and sociological systems.
L UDWIG VON B ERTALANFFY
As scientific knowledge advances, previously unrelated phenomena are found to be related.
A USTEN C LARK
The universe is orderly. It has certain built-in characteristics that came we know not whence or why but that are determinable and that have not changed during the course of recoverable history.
G EORGE G AYLORD S IMPSON
Reductionism is the primary cutting tool of science.
E DWARD O. W ILSON
We have inherited from our forefathers the keen longing for unified, all-embracing knowledge.
E RWIN S CHRDINGER
The search for the elementary ingredients making up the universe and the deepest laws governing their interactions may be a search that one day draws to a close. The deeper we look, the simpler and more unified the laws become, and there may well be a limit to this process.
B RIAN G REENE
Biology presupposes physics but not vice versa.
R UDOLF C ARNAP
Once there was physics and there was chemistry but there was no biology.
J ULIUS R EBEK
Mathematics can expose the underlying unity of phenomena that otherwise seem unrelated.
S TEVEN S TROGATZ
We live in a world orderly enough that it pays to measure.
G EORGE J OHNSON
Our everyday activity implies a perfect confidence in the universality of the laws of nature.
L UCIEN L VY -B RUHL
It is now evident that where one discipline ends and the other begins no longer matters.
P ATRICIA C HURCHLAND
In every age there is a turning point, a new way of seeing and asserting the coherence of the world.
J ACOB B RONOWSKI
Science aims both to detect order and to create order.
J OHN D UPR
There can be no explanation which is not in need of a further explanation.
K ARL P OPPER
I n early April 1912, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr arrived in the bustling city of Manchester in the north of England. When he had first stepped ashore from Denmark, some months previously, he had never imagined working in the industrial heartland of Britain, where the forest of factory chimneys billowed smoke and soot twenty-four hours a day, and where Market Street was said to be the most crowded in all Europe. Instead, his first destination had been the mellow and stately colleges and quadrangles of Cambridge. He had just completed his PhD, in Copenhagen, on the electron theory of metals, and he went to Cambridge to work with J. J. Thomson, the director of the Cavendish Laboratory and the man who, in 1897, had discovered the electron as a fundamental unit of matter, for which he had won the Nobel Prize.
