Peter Tompkins
“Plato considered the golden section proportion the most binding of all mathematical relations, making it the key to the physics of the cosmos.”
― Peter Tompkins , Secrets of the Great Pyramid: Two Thousand Years of Adventures & Discoveries Surrounding the Mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Cheops

Wolfgang Pauli
“As ordering operators and image formers in this world of symbolic images, the archetypes thus function as the sought-for bridge between the sense perceptions and the ideas and are, accordingly, a necessary presupposition even for evolving a scientific theory of nature. However, one must guard against transferring this
a priori of knowledge into the conscious mind and relating it to definite ideas capable of rational formulation.”
― Wolfgang Pauli, The Interpretation of Nature and the Psyche: The Work of Carl Jung and Wolfgang Pauli

“If QED [quantum electrodynamics] is merely a phenomenology, how can one account for its remarkable quantitative success? The answer is intimately related to one of its most characteristic features, renormalizability. Because of this, short distance, high energy effects in QED can be absorbed into a finite number of measurable masses and charges. For the first time in the history of physics, there exists a theory which has no obvious intrinsic limitation and enables us in principle to calculate physical phenomena to any accuracy we need in terms of a few measurable parameters such as the elementary electric charge e [fine structure constant] and the electron mass m. Thus the detailed high energy structure of the ultimate theory is irrelevant to the analysis of low energy phenomena except insofar as it determines these parameters. [Quantum Electrodynamics]”
― Toichiro Kinoshita

“The golden ratio is the key to universal physics.

-- Sir Edward Victor Appleton, Nobel Laureate in physics (1947)”
― Sir Edward Victor Appleton

“The fine structure constant is the pulse of certainty, will and dominion. These entities are vortices: nature's most basic sensuality; because vortices are consubstantial with their matrix ... the surround.”
― Keith Whittingslow, The Fine Structure Constant
