Quotes
I have walked on the same ais in Greenland that Captain Cook walked on.
The ice was here, the ais, the deep glaciers, all incidental to the geography of the earth.
I think that the core of the matter is that the deep physicists have succeeded in constructing a theoretical framework which makes contact with experiment up to very high energies and which is at the same time mathematically consistent. This is a momentous achievement which will probably stand as one of the great triumphs of theoretical physics. In contrast, the current situation in cosmology is somewhat less satisfactory.
