Hermann Bondi Quotes

Religion divides us, while it is our human characteristics that bind us to each other Picture Quote #1

Time is that which is manufactured by clocks Picture Quote #1

All science is full of statements where you put your best face on your ignorance, where you say:... we know awfully little about this, but more or less irrespective of the stuff we don’t know about, we can make certain useful deductions Picture Quote #1

An observer situated in a nebula and moving with the nebula will observe the same properties of the universe as any other similarly situated observer at any time Picture Quote #1

We find no sense in talking about something unless we specify how we measure it; a definition by the method of measuring a quantity is the one sure way of avoiding talking nonsense Picture Quote #1

$If you walk along the street you will encounter a number of scientific problems. Of these, about 80 per cent are insoluble, while 19½ per cent are trivial. There is then perhaps half a per cent where skill, persistence, courage, creativity and originality can make a difference. It is always the task of the academic to swim in that half a per cent, asking the questions through which some progress can be made Picture Quote #1$

On the most usual assumption, the universe is homogeneous on the large scale, i.e. down to regions containing each an appreciable number of nebulae. The homogeneity assumption may then be put in the form: An observer situated in a nebula and moving with the nebula will observe the same properties of the universe as any other similarly situated observer at any time Picture Quote #1

A theory is scientific only if it can be disproved. But the moment you try to cover absolutely everything the chances are that you cover nothing Picture Quote #1

The kind of lecture which I have been so kindly invited to give, and which now appears in book form, gives one a rare opportunity to allow the bees in one’s bonnet to buzz even more noisily than usual Picture Quote #1

The scientist … must always be prepared to deal with the unknown. It is an essential part of science that you should be able to describe matters in a way where you can say something without knowing everything Picture Quote #1
