Scientist

  1. Scientists are very clever people, but clever in a context of their own devising.
  2. In a way, scientists try to find ways of overthrowing Chronos (a bit like Zeus). They want to freeze time, to hold onto a point in time for eternity. For only if time is still can they begin to describe the world.
  3. A good scientist knows only what she doesn’t know.
  4. Physicists didn’t like having five string theories – they thought there should really only be one.
