The entire world we apprehend through our senses is no more than a tiny fragment in the vastness of Nature. — Max Planck Copy Share Image
I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about,… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
The Theory of Relativity confers an absolute meaning on a magnitude which in classical theory has only a relative significance: the velocity… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
An experiment is a question which science poses to Nature and a measurement is the recording of Nature's answer. — Max Planck Copy Share Image
Scientific work will never stop, and it would be terrible if it did. If there were no more problems, you would put… — Max Planck Copy Share Image

There can never be any real opposition between religion and science; for the one is the complement of the other. Every serious… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
The assumption of an absolute determinism is the essential foundation of every scientific enquiry. — Max Planck Copy Share Image

The highest court is in the end one's own conscience and conviction-that goes for you and for Einstein and every other physicist-and… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
Science progresses not by convincing the adherents of old theories that they are wrong, but by allowing enough time to pass so… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
The pioneer scientist must have "a vivid intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction, but by artistically creative imagination." — Max Planck Copy Share Image
“Religion and natural science are fighting a joint battle in an incessant, never relaxing crusade against skepticism and against dogmatism, against unbelief… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
I had always looked upon the search for the absolute as the noblest and most worth while task of science. — Max Planck Copy Share Image
Nature prefers the more probable states to the less probable because in nature processes take place in the direction of greater probability.… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
Religion belongs to the realm that is inviolable before the law of causation and therefore closed to science. — Max Planck Copy Share Image
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
What led me to my science and what fascinated me from a young age was the, by no means self-evident, fact that… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
New scientific ideas never spring from a communal body, however organized, but rather from the head of an individually inspired researcher who… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
Both religion and natural science require a belief in God for their activities, to the former He is the starting point, and… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
