Hi nobody,

this reminds me of a quote I stumbled upon the other day, attributed to Paul Dirac who was known for being a stone-cold scientist:
"The aim of science is to make difficult things understandable in a simpler way; the aim of poetry is to state simple things in an incomprehensible way. The two are incompatible."

Pass or fail!

It is true that many scientists are not philosophically minded
and have hitherto shown much skill and ingenuity
but little wisdom.    Max Born
