I have emphasized experiments more than theory. Of course, we need some theory when thinking of soft matter.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.
I'm not sure what theory is, unless it's the pursuit of fundamental questions.
I wanted to make noise, not study theory.
There can be theory but, you know, the problem is you've got to be able to test it. So theories are one thing, testing is another.
Theories, for me, are just about freeing your mind. It doesn't mean the theory is going to work like a scientific theory works. It's about freeing your mind and making you think a different way.
I believe all complicated phenomena can be explained by simpler scientific principles.
Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.
Theorists can create all sorts of theories which go beyond the Standard Model. But there's not one bit of experimental evidence to point out which way you should go.
To me, what makes physics physics is that experiment is intimately connected to theory. It's one whole.
It is an acknowledged truth in philosophy that a just theory will always be confirmed by experiment.
