"If you walk along the street you will encounter a number of scientific problems. Of these, about 80 per cent are insoluble, while 19Â½ per cent are trivial.

It is always the task of the academic to swim in that half a per cent, asking the questions through which some progress can be made."

-- Hermann Bondi
