Leopold Infeld citáty

Leopold Infeld bol poľský fyzik. Zaujímal sa o teóriu relativity, v rokoch 1936 – 1938 spolupracoval na Princetonskej univerzite s Albertom Einsteinom. Výsledkom tejto spolupráce bola ich rovnica opisujúca pohyby hviezd. V rokoch 1939 až 1950 pôsobil v Toronte na tamojšej univerzite. Po prvom použití atómovej bomby v roku 1945 začal, podobne ako Einstein, vystupovať ako mierový aktivista. Pre túto činnosť bol v Kanade nespravodlivo obvinený zo sympatií ku komunizmu. V roku 1950 sa vrátil do rodného Poľska, kde aj zomrel. Wikipedia

Leopold Infeld

[Leopold Infeld, Whom the Gods Love: The Story of Évariste Galois, Whittlesey House, 1948, 9]

“The scientist tries to understand the origin of our solar system, the structure of the universe and the laws governing the atom. He has discovered X rays, the radioactive substances, and he has built cyclotrons. He has foreseen the existence of electromagnetic and electronic waves. Out of his thought has grown the technique of our century. But not until today has he begun to notice that the earth on which he moves is covered with sweat and with blood and that in the world in which he lives "the son of man has nowhere to lay his head."”
