“Reality is not an exhibit for man’s inspection, labeled: "Do not touch.” There are no appearances to be photographed, no experiences to be copied, in which we do not take part.

Science, like art, is not a copy of nature but a re-creation of her. We re-make nature by the act of discovery, in the poem or in the theorem. And the great poem and the deep theorem are new to every reader, and yet are his own experiences, because he himself re-creates them. They are the marks of unity in variety; and in the instant when the minds seizes this for itself, in art or in science, the heart misses a beat.“ Jacob Bronowski
