"Natural science physics contains in itself synthetical..." - Quote by Immanuel Kant

“Riches ennoble a man's circumstances, but not himself.”

“Human reason has the peculiar fate in one species of its cognitions that it is burdened with questions which it cannot dismiss, since they are given to it as problems by the nature of reason itself, but which it also cannot answer, since they transcend every capacity of human reason.”

“In the kingdom of ends everything has either a price or a dignity. Whatever has a price can be replaced by something else as its equivalent; on the other hand, whatever is above all price, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has a dignity. But that which constitutes the condition under which alone something can be an end in itself does not have mere relative worth, i.e., price, but an intrinsic worth, i.e., a dignity.”

“The Prussian Academy of Sciences is a fast-track academic institute that requires a proactive, hands-on-type individual to overthrow the Newtonian conception of the universe. The successful candidate will have an excellent command of mass, energy, space, time and some maths. Bonus paid upon completion of proofs”

“[Mystery] is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.”

“He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behaviour as well as application.”

“If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?”

“Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space.”

“Time, space, and causality are only metaphors of knowledge, with which we explain things to ourselves.”
