Index Entry
Order:
“The actual fact is that each scientist penetrating into his own area, when he has made a discovery, has always discovered orderliness. Orderliness was a priori. There was no beginning of orderliness. He went from a rather rough disorderly hypothesis and had enough conviction to set up an apparatus to make an experiment and after the experiments were made he found orderliness. Now they are beginning to discover that gradually they are all coming into the same room, and all the orderliness is permeated, so the orderliness is all interrelated. They are suddenly coming into a comprehensive coordinate system employed by nature, which apparently, as far as any scientist could possibly tell you, if you were to talk comprehensively, has always been operative. There is no beginning about it.”
