More From Henri Poincare
- "If we knew exactly the laws of nature and the situation of the universe at the initial moment, we could predict exactly the situation of the same universe at a succeeding moment."
- "It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover."
- "Science is built up of facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house."
