The general struggle for existence of animate beings is not a struggle for raw materials nor for energy which exists in plenty in the form of heat, unfortunately untransformably, in every body; it is a struggle for entropy, which becomes available through the transition of energy from the hot sun to the cold earth.

路德维希·玻尔兹曼

The general struggle for existence of animate beings is not a struggle for raw materials—these are for organisms in ample supply—nor for energy which exists in plenty in any body in the form of heat, but a struggle for entropy, which becomes available through the transition of energy from the hot sun to the cold earth.

The first step is to measure whatever can be easily measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can’t be measured or give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can’t be measured easily isn’t very important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can’t be easily measured really doesn’t exist. This is suicide.

In mathematical science, more than in all others, it happens that truths which are at one time the most abstract, and apparently the most remote from all useful application, become in the next age the bases of profound physical inquiries, and at length find their embodiment in some practical invention.
