“I soon learned to scent out what was able to lead to fundamentals--and to turn aside from everything else, from the multitude of things that clutter up the mind.”  Albert Einstein

“Science is organized around a limited number of concepts (or “laws”), that account for everything we see in the world around us.” (Hazen and Trefil, 2009).

“Newton developed compact laws that apply to an immense assortment of situations. His three Laws of Motion—like all fundamental laws that govern science—seem simple, almost simplistic. The deepest insights of the human mind often have this characteristic.” (Hazen and Trefil, 2009).
