“Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the action of people.

- Albert Einstein, 1936, responding to a child who wrote and asked if scientists pray; quoted in: Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas & Banesh Hoffmann”
