“Meine Herren, als Physiker, der sein ganzes Leben der nüchternen Wissenschaft, der Erforschung der Materie widmete, bin ich sicher von dem Verdacht frei, für einen Schwarmgeist gehalten zu werden. Und so sage ich nach meinen Erforschungen des Atoms dieses: Es gibt keine Materie an sich. Alle Materie entsteht und besteht nur durch eine Kraft, welche die Atomteilchen in Schwingung bringt und sie zum winzigsten Sonnensystem des Alls zusammenhält. Da es im ganzen Weltall aber weder eine intelligente Kraft noch eine ewige Kraft gibt - es ist der Menschheit nicht gelungen, das heiß ersehnte Perpetuum mobile zu erfinden - so müssen wir hinter dieser Kraft einen bewußten intelligenten Geist annehmen. Dieser Geist ist der Urgrund aller Materie.”
“Avendo dedicato tutta la mia vita alla scienza più lucida, lo studio della materia, posso affermare questo sui risultati della mia ricerca sull’atomo: la materia in quanto tale non esiste. Tutta la materia trae origine ed esiste solo in virtù di una forza che fa vibrare le particelle atomiche e tiene insieme quel minuscolo sistema solare che è l’atomo [….]. Dobbiamo presumere che dietro questa forza esiste una Mente cosciente e intelligente. Questa Mente è la matrice di tutta la materia.”
“Gentlemen, As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. Considering that in the entire universe there is no intelligent force, nor an eternal force, - Mankind has been able to invent the much longed for Perpetuum Mobile - we have to assume a conscious and intelligent spirit behind this force. This spirit is the cause of all matter.”
