Samuel C. C. Ting quotes

Samuel C. C. Ting is an American physicist of Chinese descent, renowned for his pioneering work in particle physics. His co-discovery of the J/ψ particle provided vital evidence for the existence of the charm quark. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for this achievement. Here is 1 of his quotes:

There is an ancient Chinese saying "He who labours with his mind rules over he who labours with his hand". This kind of backward idea is very harmful to youngsters from developing countries. Partly because of this type of concept, many students from these countries are inclined towards theoretical studies and avoid experimental work. In reality, a theory in natural science cannot be without experimental foundations; physics, in particular, comes from experimental work. (Samuel C. C. Ting)
