Ego is the immediate dictate of human consciousness.

Energy is the ability of a system to destroy work.

An Experiment is the recording of Nature's answer.

Light is made up of quanta, or finite packets of energy which depends on the frequency and velocity of radiation.

Measurement is but the recording of the answer Nature gives to the questions we pose in the form of an experiment.

Science is unresting endeavor and continually progressing development toward an end which the poetic intuition may apprehend, but which the intellect can never fully grasp.

Science is a field that rarely progresses by convincing opponents; rather, opponents gradually die out, and the growing generation is familiarized with the idea from the beginning.
