“It is a wonderful feeling to recognize the unity of a complex of phenomena that to direct observation appear to be quite separate things”
-Albert Einsetein
from Consilience (p. 5), by E.O. Wilson, 1998
“Besides, teaching physics by the historical method is, to my way of thinking, not only more interesting, but more philosophically correct. There is danger in presenting the conclusions of physics flatly as though they were all delivered to us in letters of fire carved into stone on Mount Sinai.”
-Isaac Asimov
from The History of Physics, 1984
