Excerpt from The Value of Science Of discovery. And this would be a reason for distrust. To minds so unlike can the mathematical theorems themselves appear in the same light? Truth which is not the same for all, is it truth? But look in g at things more closely, we see how these very different workers collaborate in a common task which could not be achieved without their cooperation. And that already reassures us. Next must be examined the frames in which nature seems enclosed and which are called time and space. In Science and Hypothesis I have already shown how relative their value is; it is not nature which imposes them upon us, it is we who impose them upon nature because we find them convenient. But I have spoken of scarcely more than space, and particularly quantitative Space, so to say, that is of the mathematical relations whose aggregate constitutes geometry. I should have shown that it is the same with time as with space and still the same with qualitative space in particular, I should have investigated why we attribute three dimensions to space. I may be pardoned then for taking up again these important questions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
