You always need to be curious and study.

By the time 1967 had rolled around, general relativity had been relegated to mathematics departments... in most people's minds, it bore no relation to physics. And that was mostly because experiments to prove it were so hard to do - all these effects that Einstein's theory had predicted were infinitesimally small.

The field equations and the whole history of general relativity have been complicated.

One of the chief duties of the mathematician in acting as an advisor ... is to discourage ... from expecting too much from mathematics.
