Famous quotes containing the words cosmic and/or experiment:
“The new knowledge has not yet settled in culture. It has not yet been integrated in a new cosmic conception.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data ... and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
