Dear Helmut,

❝ ... 2. Looking pretty is not a scientific category.


Some people, among them really famous ones, have here another point of view. For instance:
"It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment..." :cool:
Paul Dirac, paper on Magnetic Monopoles (1931)
(for more context see here or here)

Regards,

Detlew

Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones.
But a collection of facts is no more a science
than a heap of stones is a house.    Henri Poincaré
