「自分の理論の力を信じて生きてきた科学者としては、人生の物語は悪夢で終わる。彼は、無知の山を登って、一番高い頂上を征服するところで、最後に岩を超えてみると、そこに何世紀もすでに座っていた神学者の一団によって挨拶される。」ロバート・ジャストロ博士（エドウィン・ハブルが指導したウィルソン山天文台の局長）
“For the scientist who has lived by his
faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled
the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he
pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who
have been sitting there for centuries.” Dr. Robert
Jastrow, director of the Mount Wilson observatory once led by Edwin Hubble
