奧利弗·黑維塞

奧利弗·黑維塞（，）是一名英國物理學家和电子工程师。他没有接受过正规的高等教育，作风古怪

• “数学分2种，严格的和物理直观化的。前者的范围窄；后者粗犷而广泛。拘泥于公式的严格证明只会令绝大多数的数学物理探究止步不前。难道我要在完全理解消化反应的所有机理以前，拒绝进食吗？”（Mathematics is of two kinds, Rigorous and Physical. The former is Narrow: the latter Bold and Broad. To have to stop to formulate rigorous demonstrations would put a stop to most physico-mathematical inquiries. Am I to refuse to eat because I do not fully understand the mechanism of digestion?）

** 常见变体：“仅仅是因为我不理解消化的过程，我就应该要拒绝一顿美餐吗？”（Should I refuse a good dinner simply because I do not understand the process of digestion?）

• “如果说让这个世界运转的是爱，那么让电磁波传遍世界的就是自感。”（If it is love that makes the world go round, it is self-induction that makes electromagnetic waves go round the world.）
• “...自然界没有绝对的衡量尺度，小尺度也可能是重要的研究范围，甚至有可能具有伟大的重要性。”（...there is no absolute scale of size in nature, and the small may be as important, or more so than the great.）
