I Am a Part of Infinity Quotes

“Einstein saw nothing sacrilegious in this state of affairs. He’d always been convinced that “the intuitive and constructive spiritual faculties must come into play wherever a body of scientific truth is concerned.”4 All true science relied on something that transcended the simple facts of experience, something subtler and deeper than the raw data. “By this,” he explained, “I mean that our moral leanings and tastes, our sense of beauty and religious instincts, are all tributary forces in helping the reasoning faculty toward its highest achievements.”5 And although he acknowledged that our “system of thought” was still “in a state of evolution,” the general trend was unmistakable.6 “Modern scientific theory is tending toward a sort of transcendental synthesis,” he insisted, “in which the scientific mind will work in harmony with man’s religious instincts and sense of beauty.”7”
