“We are in the position of a little child,” said Einstein in a press interview twenty years ago, “entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. … The child does not understand the languages in which they are written. He notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order which he does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.”
