“A star is drawing on some vast reservoir of energy by means unknown to us. This reservoir can scarcely be other than the subatomic energy which, it is known exists abundantly in all matter; we sometimes dream that man will one day learn how to release it and use it for his service. The store is well nigh inexhaustible, if only it could be tapped. There is sufficient in the Sun to maintain its output of heat for 15 billion years.”

Arthur Stanley Eddington“The physical world is entirely abstract and without actuality apart from its linkage to consciousness.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington“Asked in 1919 whether it was true that only three people in the world understood the theory of general relativity, [Eddington] allegedly replied: 'Who's the third?”
Arthur Stanley Eddington“An ocean traveler has even more vividly the impression that the ocean is made of waves than that it is made of water.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington“The mind-stuff of the world is, of course, something more general than our individual conscious minds.... It is difficult for the matter-of-fact physicist to accept the view that the substratum of everything is of mental character. But no one can deny that mind is the first and most direct thing in our experience, and all else is remote inference.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature Of The Physical World“Whether in the intellectual pursuits of science or in the mystical pursuits of the spirit, the light beckons ahead, and the purpose surging in our nature responds.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World“You will understand the true spirit neither of science nor of religion unless seeking is placed in the forefront.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington, Science and the Unseen World“An individual is a four-dimensional objectof greatly elongated form”
