Hannes Alfven Quotes

Most people today still believe, perhaps unconsciously, in the heliocentric universe... Every newspaper in the land has a section on astrology, yet few have anything at all on astronomy Picture Quote #1

Gravitational systems are the ashes of prior electrical systems Picture Quote #1

I have always believed that astrophysics should be the extrapolation of laboratory physics, that we must begin from the present universe and work our way backward to progressively more remote and uncertain epochs Picture Quote #1

To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science Picture Quote #1

We have to learn again that science without contact with experiments is an enterprise which is likely to go completely astray into imaginary conjecture Picture Quote #1

We should remember that there was once a discipline called natural philosophy. Unfortunately, this discipline seems not to exist today. It has been renamed science, but science of today is in danger of losing much of the natural philosophy aspect Picture Quote #1

Scientists tend to resist interdisciplinary inquiries into their own territory. In many instances, such parochialism is founded on the fear that intrusion from other disciplines would compete unfairly for limited financial resources and thus diminish their own opportunity for research Picture Quote #1

Students using astrophysical textbooks remain essentially ignorant of even the existence of plasma concepts, despite the fact that some of them have been known for half a century. The conclusion is that astrophysics is too important to be left in the hands of astrophysicists who have gotten their main knowledge from these textbooks. Earthbound and space telescope data must be treated by scientists who are familiar with laboratory and magnetospheric physics and circuit theory, and of course with modern plasma theory Picture Quote #1

It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago Picture Quote #1

There is no rational reason to doubt that the universe has existed indefinitely, for an infinite time. It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago Picture Quote #1

The peer review system is satisfactory during quiescent times, but not during a revolution in a discipline such as astrophysics, when the establishment seeks to preserve the status quo Picture Quote #1
