I Believe That Ideas Such As Absolute Certitude, Absolute Exactness, Final Truth, Etc. Are Figments Of The Imagination Which Should Not Be Admissible In Any Field Of Science... This Loosening Of Thinking Seems To Me To Be The Greatest Blessing Which Modern Science Has Given To Us. For The Belief In A Single Truth And In Being The Possessor Thereof Is The Root Cause Of All Evil In The World.
