Quotes by Leopold Infeld in Time One

… the greatest pleasure in studying is that of understanding.

What is light really? Is it a shower of photons, or waves in the ether?

Einstein believes that the modern development in quantum theory … will be replaced by a theory built along different lines ….

The title sounds modest, yet as we read it we notice almost immediately that it is different from other papers. There are no references; no authorities are quoted, and the few footnotes are of an explanatory character. The style is simple, and a great part of this article can be followed without advanced technical knowledge. But its full understanding requires a maturity of mind and taste that is more rare and precious than pedantic knowledge, for Einstein’s paper deals with the most basic problems; it analyzes the meaning of concepts that might seem too simple to be scrutinized.
