HERE is no grander nor more intellectually elevat- 

 ing spectacle than that of the utterances of the funda- 

 mental investigators in their gigantic power. Possessed 

 as yet of no methods — for these were first created by 

 their labors and are only rendered comprehensible to 

 us by their performances — they grapple with and sub- 

 jugate the object of their inquiry and imprint upon it 

 the forms of conceptual thought. 



— Ernst Mach
