In fact, quantitative findings of any material and energy changes preserve their full context only through their being seen and understood as parts of a natural order.

Indeed, every true science has for its object the determination of certain phenomena by means of others, in accordance with the relations which exist between them.
Natural objects, for example, must be experienced before any theorizing about them can occur.
In all the sciences except Psychology we deal with objects and their changes, and leave out of account as far as possible the mind which observes them.
If we conceive all the changes in the physical world as reducible to the motion of atoms, motions generated by means of the fixed nuclear forces of those atoms, the whole of the world could thus be known by means of the natural sciences.
A view of nature as dense and nonlinear is at the core of our contemporary science. Process and order emerge subtly.
Real progress in understanding nature is rarely incremental. All important advances are sudden intuitions, new principles, new ways of seeing.
The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
The well-known fact that the form of a specific substance, e.g. water, and hence its properties can alter without a change in composition was disposed of by the formal view that a physical, not a chemical, process was involved.
Truth in science is always determined from observational facts.
Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.
