Max Tegmark: Our Mathematical Universe |
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.
There`s no better guarantee of failure than convincing yourself that success is impossible, and therefore never even trying.
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 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)
