“To me, science is an expression of the human spirit, which reaches every sphere of human culture. It gives an aim and meaning to existence as well as a knowledge, understanding, love, and admiration for the world. It gives a deeper meaning to morality and another dimension to esthetics.” WorldGivingHumansWellsScienceSpiritCultureUnderstandingExistenceKnowledgeExpressionMoralityAccountsAimDeeperDimensionsAdmirationSpheresHuman SpiritDeeper MeaningUnderstanding Love Book:A tribute to Professor I.I.

“We must also teach science not as the bare body of fact, but more as human endeavor in its historic context-in the context of the effects of scientific thought on every kind of thought. We must teach it as an intellectual pursuit rather than as a body of tricks.” HumansKindFactsBodyScienceTeachHistoryTeachingEffectsIntellectualAccountsPursuitTricksEndeavorHistoric Author:Isidor Isaac Rabi
“Physics is an otherworld thing, it requires a taste for things unseen, even unheard of- a high degree of abstraction... These faculties die off somehow when you grow up... profound curiosity happens when children are young. I think physicists are the Peter Pans of the human race... Once you are sophisticated, you know too much- far too much. Pauli once said to me, "I know a great deal. I know too much. I am a quantum ancient.".” ThinkingKnowsHumansChildrenSaidHappensYoungDiesGrowsDealsRaceGrowing UpToo MuchTasteDegreesMathematicsProfoundCuriosityAncientPhysicsHuman RaceFacultyPeterQuantumSophisticatedUnseenAbstractionPhysicistUnheard Author:Isidor Isaac Rabi
