“PHYSICAL LAWS REST ON ATOMIC STATISTICS AND ARE THEREFORE ONLY APPROXIMATE”

Erwin Schrödinger book What Is Life?

What Is Life? (1944)
Context: What we call thought (1) is itself an orderly thing, and (2) can only be applied to material, i. e. to perceptions or experiences, which have a certain degree of orderliness. This has two consequences. First, a physical organization, to be in close correspondence with thought (as my brain is with my thought) must be a very well-ordered organization, and that means that the events that happen within it must obey strict physical laws, at least to a very high degree of accuracy. Secondly, the physical impressions made upon that physically well-organized system by other bodies from outside, obviously correspond to the perception and experience of the corresponding thought, forming its material, as I have called it. Therefore, the physical interactions between our system and others must, as a rule, themselves possess a certain degree of physical orderliness, that is to say, they too must obey strict physical laws to a certain degree of accuracy.

“Nor can his blessed soul look down from heaven,
Or break the eternal sabbath of his rest.”

John Dryden (1631–1700) English poet and playwright of the XVIIth century

Act V, scene 2.
The Spanish Friar (1681)

“The Hindu mind works in such a way that continuity of worship is more important than physical fact. When the Harappans migrated eastward towards the Gangetic region, they carried with them their memories of the Sarasvati. The myths and sanctity were transferred to Prayag.”

Michel Danino (1956) Indian writer

Supporting the claim that the divine attributes of the Ganges were originally used for the Sarasvati river, as quoted in " A personal odyssey http://www.thehindu.com/features/magazine/a-personal-odyssey/article391403.ece, The Hindu (10 April 2010)
