John Wheeler 'falou e disse': os cientistas são ignorantes sobre muitas coisas

“Nós não sabemos a primeira coisa sobre o universo, sobre nós mesmos, e sobre o nosso lugar no universo.” - John Wheeler (1911-2008)

Cover: John Archibald Wheeler (1911–2008) had a lasting impact not just on the many areas of physics he explored but also on the physicists he mentored and inspired during his long career. In this special issue, which includes reprints of two pieces Wheeler wrote for PHYSICS TODAY, we pay tribute to his contributions and legacy.

“We do not know the first thing about the universe, about ourselves, and about our place in the universe.” 

- John Wheeler
