Theories cannot claim to be indestructible. They are only the plough which the ploughman uses to draw his furrow and which he has every right to discard for another one, of improved design, after the harvest.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If matter cannot be destroyed, cannot be annihilated, it could not have been created. The indestructible must be uncreatable.
Believing that the power to destroy belongs to the Creator alone I affirm... that any theory which, when carried out, demands the annihilation of force, is necessarily erroneous.
The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.
Designs of purely arbitrary nature cannot be expected to last long.
Theories are always very thin and insubstantial, experience only is tangible.
You know very well that unless you're a scientist, it's much more important for a theory to be shapely, than for it to be true.
I really don't like art where you need to know so much theory to understand. If the theory is removed, it doesn't do anything. That means that this work is an illustration of theory, and I don't believe in the power of the work itself.
Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective indeterminacy.
Heredity provides for the modification of its own machinery.
The indestructible is one: it is each individual human being and, at the same time, it is common to all, hence the incomparably indivisible union that exists between human beings.
