WIST Quotations

A quotation from Einstein

It can scarcely be denied that the supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-American physicist
Lecture (1933-06-10), “On the Method of Theoretical Physics,” Herbert Spencer Lecture, Oxford

Origin of "Einstein's Law": "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."
