“When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.”
Edward Teller“My experience has been in a short 77 years that in the end when you fight for a desperate cause and have good reasons to fight, you usually win.”
Edward Teller“The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.”
Edward Teller“A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.”
Edward Teller“The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things, everything is becoming simpler.”
Edward Teller“The scientist is not responsible for the laws of nature. It is his job to find out how these laws operate. It is the scientist’s job to find the ways in which these laws can serve the human will. However, it is not the scientist’s job to determine whether a hydrogen bomb should be constructed, whether it should be used, or how it should be used. This responsibility rests with the American people and with their chosen representatives.”
Edward Teller“When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.”
Edward Teller“Science attempts to find logic and simplicity in nature. Mathematics attempts to establish order and simplicity in human thought.”
Edward Teller, The Pursuit Of Simplicity“Today's science is tomorrow's technology.”
