A poet once said, The whole universe is in a glass of wine. We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood... How vivid is the claret, pressing its existence into the consciousness that watches it! If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts - physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on - remember that nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure: drink it and forget it all! ✨ The Feynman Lectures on Physics (volume I; lecture 3: The Relation of Physics to Other Sciences). Book by Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton and Matthew Sands, 1964.
