Electric and magnetic forces. May they live for ever, and never be forgot, if only to remind us that the science of electromagnetics, in spite of the abstract nature of its theory, involving quantities whose nature is entirely unknown at… — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
Ohm (a distinguished mathematician, be it noted) brought into order a host of puzzling facts connecting electromotive force and electric current in conductors, which all previous electricians had only succeeded in loosely binding together qualitatively under some rather vague statements.… — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
We do not dwell in the Palace of Truth. But, as was mentioned to me not long since, "There is a time coming when… — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
Mathematics is of two kinds, Rigorous and Physical. The former is Narrow: the latter Bold and Broad. To have to stop to formulate rigorous… — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
...there is no absolute scale of size in nature, and the small may be as important, or more so than the great. — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
Why should I refuse a good dinner simply because I don't understand the digestive processes involved? — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
It is shocking that young people should be addling their brains over mere logical subtleties in Euclid's Elements, trying to understand the proof of… — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
“ Ohm found that the results could be summed up in such a simple law that he who runs may read it, and a… — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
Theory is the essence of facts. Without theory scientific knowledge would be only worthy of the madhouse. — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
Mathematics is an experimental science, and definitions do not come first, but later on. — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
If it is love that makes the world go round, it is self-induction that makes electromagnetic waves go round the world. — Oliver Heaviside Copy Share Image
