Nature Quote by Siddhartha Mukherjee
““Sound and light, Doppler argued, behaved according to universal and natural laws-even if these were deeply counterintuitive to ordinary viewers or listeners. Indeed, if you looked carefully, all the chaotic and complex phenomena of the world were the result of highly organized natural laws. But more commonly, a profoundly artificial ecperiment-loading trumpeters on a speeding train-might be necessary to understand and demonstrate these laws.””

![“However we select from nature a complex [of phenomena] using the criterion of simplicity, in no case will its theoretical treatment turn out to be forever appropriate (sufficient)… I do not doubt that the day will come when [general relativity], too, will have to yield to another one, for reasons…” quote by Albert Einstein](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/432/albert-einstein-33_appropriate_however-we-select-from-nature-a-complex_2419341.jpg)
