-
The laws of physics ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose.
-
My earlier exposure to physics certainly helped me in the use of biophysical techniques like crystallography, the use of computing, calculations, etc.
-
We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much more valid than the derivation.
