Nikola TeslaThe day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.
About This Quote
This quote is an interesting one because it suggests that science is limited. It can only study physical phenomena, not non-physical ideas like love, emotions, and personal power to name a few. Science can’t study emotions or love since it doesn’t have the tools to measure these things. However, if science ever did get around to studying these types of things, there would be so much to study that the progress would be phenomenal.
