“If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to evaluate the experimental material which may lead him to conclusions about the structure of the atom.” IfsMayStillsDoneDealsFieldsMaterialsStructureConclusionAtomsNeverthelessPhysicistTheoreticalEvaluate Author:Johannes Stark

“In my own field, x-ray crystallography, we used to work out the structure of minerals by various dodges which we never bothered to write down, we just used them. Then Linus Pauling came along to the laboratory, saw what we were doing and wrote out what we now call Pauling's Rules. We had all been using Pauling's Rules for about three or four years before Pauling told us what the rules were.” WritingYearsUsedThreeMy OwnSawsFourFieldsStructureVariousWork OutRaysFour YearsLaboratoryBotheredMineralsDodge Author:John Desmond Bernal
“I'm not so in with the prescriptive avant-garde agenda. I can do that sort of thing, but I feel that I'm still interested enough in song structure.

“It would of course be a great step forward if we succeeded in combining the gravitational field and the electromagnetic field into a single structure.

“The Internet is light at the end of the tunnel. I don't care if it's being used to peddle pornography, I don't care if it's being trivialized in a thousand ways. Anything can be trivialized. The important point is that it is leveling the playing field of global society. It is creating de-facto an entirely new set of political realities. None of the constipated, oligarchic structures that are resisting this were ever asked. Their greed betrayed them into investing in this in the first place without ever fully grasping what the implications of it were for their larger agenda.” IfsWayFirstsImportantEndsRealityLightCarePoliticalUsedFieldsInternetThousandCreatingStructureGreedInvestingDon't CareI Don't CareAgendasBetrayedPornographyImplicationsTunnelsResistingGraspingPlaying FieldsLight At The End Of The TunnelEnd Of The Tunnel Author:Terence McKenna
“The social sciences, like much of biology but unlike most fields of the physical sciences, have to deal with structures of essential complexity, i.e. with structures whose characteristic properties can be exhibited only by models made up of relatively large numbers of variables.” MadeSocialDealsNumbersFieldsEssentialsModelsStructurePropertyCharacteristicsComplexityBiologyLarge NumbersVariablesSocial SciencePhysical Science Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“I see the carpet reflecting that narratological structure of the storytelling, with Scheherazade as the outside frame story on the outside, with the stories woven on the inside. It's also demonstrative of the infinity of it, with no beginning and no end. The carpet is also a kind of metonym for cinema, this idea that the flat surface carries a terrific depth of imaginative field while remaining totally flat.” KindIdeasEndsStoriesFieldsStructureDepthSurfaceStorytellingCinemaCarrieFlatsInfinityImaginativeCarpetTerrificReflectingWoven Author:Marina Warner
