“The discovery which has been pointed to by theory is always one of profound interest and importance, but it is usually the close and crown of a long and fruitful period, whereas the discovery which comes as a puzzle and surprise usually marks a fresh epoch and opens a new chapter in science.” LongHas BeensScienceInterestTheoryPeriodsDiscoveryImportanceMarkSurpriseProfoundChaptersCrownsPuzzlesEpoch Author:Oliver Lodge
“The nature of catastrophe is, after all, reasonably unvarying in the way it ruins, destroys, wounds and devastates. But if something can be learned from the event - not least something as profound as the theory of plate tectonics - then it somehow puts the ruination into a much more positive light.” IfsWayLightEventsTheoryProfoundWoundsRuinsPlatesCatastrophe Author:Simon Winchester
“My main professional interest during the 1970s has been in the dramatic change of concepts and ideas that has occurred in physics during the first three decades of the century, and that is still being elaborated in our current theories of matter. The new concepts in physics have brought about a profound change in our world view; from the mechanistic conception of Descartes and Newton to a holistic and ecological view, a view which I have found to be similar to the views of mystics of all ages and traditions.” WorldFirstsHas BeensStillsIdeasMatterAgeThreeFoundInterestViewsCenturyTheoryConceptsTraditionProfoundCurrentsDecadesPhysicsDramaticOur WorldConceptionNewtonEcologicalHolisticWorld ViewDramatic Change Author:Fritjof Capra
“Journalism only tells us what men are doing; it is fiction that tells us what they are thinking, and still more what they are feeling. If a new scientific theory finds the soul of a man in his dreams, at least it ought not to leave out his day-dreams. And all fiction is only a diary of day-dreams instead of days. And this profound preoccupation of men's minds with certain things always eventually has an effect even on the external expression of the age.” IfsThinkingMenMindStillsSoulFeelingsDreamAgeCertainFictionEffectsExpressionTheoryOughtProfoundJournalismDiariesPreoccupationScientific Theory Author:Gilbert K.

“The first proponent of cortical memory networks on a major scale was neither a neuroscientist nor a computer scientist but .. a Viennes economist: Friedrich von Hayek (1899-1992). A man of exceptionally broad knowledge and profound insight into the operation of complex systems, Hayek applied such insight with remarkable success to economics (Nobel Prize, 1974), sociology, political science, jurisprudence, evolutionary theory, psychology, and brain science (Hayek, 1952).” MenFirstsPoliticalMemoriesBrainPsychologyTheoryComputerMajorsEconomicsScientistProfoundComplexesInsightScalesOperationsRemarkablePrizeBroadsEconomistSociologyPolitical ScienceNobelNobel PrizeComplex SystemsHayekJurisprudenceBrain ScienceVon Hayek Author:Joaquin Fuster
