Description

Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all/Ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know


-John Keats, Ode On A Grecian Urn, 1819




“The great tragedy of Science is the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.”


-Thomas Huxley, 1870




"My work has always tried to unite the true with the beautiful and when I had to choose one or the other I usually chose the beautiful.”


-Hermann Weyl, 1885–1955




“Objectivity came to seem at once stranger - more specific, less obvious, more recently historical - and deeper, etched into the very act of scientific seeing, than we had ever suspected.”


-Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison, 2007
