Effective Field Theories

Famous quotes containing the words effective, field and/or theories:

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)

    There is a call to life a little sterner,
    And braver for the earner, learner, yearner.
    Less criticism of the field and court
    And more preoccupation with the sport.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
