Such a Weizsaecher? Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsaecker,
best pupil of Heisenberg, has won the $400,000 Templeton Prize ;-)
(Humourous) quotes from C.F.v.W.
A society which accepts the idea that the origin of the cosmos
could be explained in terms of an explosion,
reveals more about the society itself,
than about the universe.
The scientist moves unwanted into the role of a priest in this secular culture.
He administers its mysteries, its prophecies, and its wonder.
Classical physics has been superseded by quantum theory.
Quantum theory is verified by experiments.
Experiments must be described in terms of classical physics.
Nature is earlier than man,
but man is earlier than natural science.
