Science is inextricably interwoven with cosmology, with theology, with epistemology, with ethics, politics, and psychology, all of them crucial to exploration into the human condition. A cosmology cannot be taken seriously that is not consistent with modern mechanics and astronomy, nor an epistemology that is naive in its understanding of operationalism, quantum uncertainty, or the Gödel theorems. To understand Zeno's paradoxes, we do not study the classics, but Weierstrass and Cantor.

- Herbert A. Simon, "Culture to the Nth Power", in Visions of Technology, ed. Richard Rhodes, p. 247
