Max Tegmark: Our Mathematical Universe |
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don`t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don`t know we don`t know.
Donald Rumsfeld(quoted)
If you have a tough question that you can`t answer, first tackle a simpler question that you can`t answer.
Harold S. Shapiro(quoted)
There`s no better guarantee of failure than convincing yourself that success is impossible, and therefore never even trying.
We`re all born with curiosity, but at some point, school usually manages to knock that out of us. I feel that my main responsibility as a teacher isn`t to convey facts, but to rekindle that lost enthusiasm for asking questions.
