„Słudzy nieużyteczni jesteśmy; wykonaliśmy to, co powinniśmy wykonać” (Łk 17,10)

Suppose an experimentalist shows you an instrument saying that this is a very good muon detector. He gives you the engineering manual which describes hot it is constructed. Then he says with an innocent smile: can you work out the algebraic element which corresponds to this manual in the mathematical description? R.Haag, Local Quantum Physics.


Truth. Typical.
