Дельбрюк, Макс цитаты

Макс Людвиг Хеннинг Дельбрюк — американский биофизик немецкого происхождения, лауреат Нобелевской премии по физиологии и медицине в 1969 году «за открытия, касающиеся механизма репликации и генетической структуры вирусов».

Дельбрюк начинал свою научную карьеру как физик, он, в частности, первым предсказал один из нелинейных эффектов квантовой электродинамики — дельбрюковское рассеяние.

С 1932 по 1937 год, Макс Дельбрюк работал в Берлине ассистентом Лизы Мейтнер, сотрудничавшей с Отто Ганом в исследовании нейтронного излучения урана. В этот период он написал несколько работ, одна из которых, написанная в 1933 году, стала важным вкладом в теорию рассеяния гамма-лучей на кулоновском поле благодаря поляризации вакуума, вызванной этим полем. Его выводы оказались неприменимы в данном конкретном случае, однако 20 лет спустя Ханс Бете подтвердил существование такого явления и назвал его «Дельбрюковским рассеянием». Wikipedia

“The particular thing about science is to combine that [the dreams of obtaining power] with a retreat from the world. Other people want to obtain power by going out into the world, but the scientist really wants to obtain power by retreating from the world.”

“The progress of science is tremendously disorderly, and the motivations that lead to this progress are tremendously varied, and the reasons why scientists go into science, the personal motivations, are tremendously varied. I have said … that science is a haven for freaks, that people go into science because they are misfits, and that it is a sheltered place where they can spin their own yarn and have recognition, be tolerated and happy, and have approval for it.”

“If you're too sloppy, then you never get reproducible results, and then you never can draw any conclusions; but if you are just a little sloppy, then when you see something startling, (…) you nail it down (…). So I called it the "Principle of Limited Sloppiness."”

“The scientist addresses an infinitesimal audience of fellow composers. His message is not devoid of universality but it's universality is disembodied and anonymous. While the artist's communication is linked forever with it's original form, that of the scientist is modified, amplified, fused with the ideas and results of others, and melts into the stream of knowledge and ideas which forms our culture. The scientist has in common with the artist only this: that he can find no better retreat from the world than his work and also no stronger link with his world than his work.”
