Christopher Zeeman Quotes

The Scientist Has To Take 95 Per Cent Of His Subject On Trust. He Has To Because He Can't Possibly Do All The Experiments, Therefore He Has To Take On Trust The Experiments All His Colleagues And Predecessors Have Done. Whereas A Mathematician Doesn't Have To Take Anything On Trust. Any Theorem That's Proved, He Doesn't Believe It, Really, Until He Goes Through The Proof Himself, And Therefore He Knows His Whole Subject From Scratch. He's Absolutely 100 Per Cent Certain Of It. And That Gives Him An Extraordinary Conviction Of Certainty, And An Arrogance That Scientists Don't Have.
