| "The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble." | "The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty is is only that the exact application of these laws leads to equations much too complicated to be soluble." | ||
