Planck Versus Poe: Scientific and Poetic Approaches

Authors

Anita Kelkar, New York Medical College

Abstract

P A M Dirac wrote that "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by every- one, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it’s the exact opposite." Dirac's quote con- fronts us with the question: Do both the scientific and poetic approaches ultimately enjoy equal success in expanding human knowledge?
