Arthur Stanley Eddington Quotes
In The World Of Physics We Watch A Shadowgraph Performance Of The Drama Of Familiar Life. The Shadow Of My Elbow Rests On The Shadow Table As The Shadow Ink Flows Over The Shadow Paper. It Is All Symbolic, And As A Symbol The Physicist Leaves It. Then Comes The Alchemist Mind Who Transmutes The Symbols. The Sparsely Spread Nuclei Of Electric Force Become A Tangible Solid; Their Restless Agitation Becomes The Warmth Of Summer; The Octave Of Aethereal Vibrations Becomes A Gorgeous Rainbow. Nor Does The Alchemy Stop Here. In The Transmuted World New Significances Arise Which Are Scarcely To Be Traced In The World Of Symbols; So That It Becomes A World Of Beauty And Purpose - And, Alas, Suffering And Evil.
