Hahaha Nalikumbuka kaka mtumishi😀😀
Mtumishi, nacheeka sana. Mtumishi is right. But mtumishi wa nini?
Hahaha, unanikumbusha nukuu moja ya Dr. Wolfgang Pauli.
Dr. Wolfgang Pauli na Dr. Paul Dirac ni wanasayansi maarufu katika ulimwengu wa Physics.
Sasa Dr. Pauli huyu ukiwa mwanafunzi wake halafu ukimletea kitu kimeandikwa halafu hakiwezi kuwa verified scientifically, siyo tu anakufelisha, bali anakufelisha na kukuambia "not even wrong", you are less than wrong, because at least wrong can be verified so, you can't.
But I digress.
Back to Dr. Pauli and Dr. Dirac.
Dr. Dirac was always trashing God, that he doesn't exist. is quoted as saying
the point of view of getting
beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound
insight, one is on a sure line of
progress.
Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac (
8 August 1902 –
20 October 1984) was a British theoretical physicist and a founder of the field of
quantum physics.

The very
idea of
God is a product of the
human imagination.
Approximate practical methods of applying
quantum mechanics should be developed, which can lead to an explanation of the main features of
complex atomic systems without too much computation.
In
science one tries to tell
people, in such a way as to be
understood by everyone, something that no one ever
knew before. But in the case of
poetry, it's the exact opposite!
It seems clear that the present
quantum mechanics is not in its final form.
The measure of
greatness in a
scientific idea is the extent to which it stimulates
thought and opens up new lines of research.
I think it’s a peculiarity of myself that I like to
play about with equations, just looking for
beautiful mathematicalrelations which maybe don’t have any
physical meaning at
all. Sometimes they do.
- If we are honest — and scientists have to be — we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality. The very idea of God is a product of the human imagination. It is quite understandable why primitive people, who were so much more exposed to the overpowering forces of nature than we are today, should have personified these forces in fear and trembling. But nowadays, when we understand so many natural processes, we have no need for such solutions. I can't for the life of me see how the postulate of an Almighty God helps us in any way. What I do see is that this assumption leads to such unproductive questions as why God allows so much misery and injustice, the exploitation of the poor by the rich and all the other horrors He might have prevented. If religion is still being taught, it is by no means because its ideas still convince us, but simply because some of us want to keep the lower classes quiet. Quiet people are much easier to govern than clamorous and dissatisfied ones. They are also much easier to exploit. Religion is a kind of opium that allows a nation to lull itself into wishful dreams and so forget the injustices that are being perpetrated against the people. Hence the close alliance between those two great political forces, the State and the Church. Both need the illusion that a kindly God rewards — in heaven if not on earth — all those who have not risen up against injustice, who have done their duty quietly and uncomplainingly. That is precisely why the honest assertion that God is a mere product of the human imagination is branded as the worst of all mortal sins.
- Remarks made during the Fifth Solvay International Conference (October 1927), as quoted in Physics and Beyond: Encounters and Conversations (1971) by Werner Heisenberg, pp. 85-86; these comments prompted the famous remark later in the day by Wolfgang Pauli: "Well, our friend Dirac, too, has a religion, and its guiding principle is "God does not exist and Dirac is His prophet." Variant translations and paraphrases of that comment are listed in the "Quotes about Dirac" section below.
