No contradiction exists, if the events are correctly interpreted. - Richard von Mises

The main interest of physical statistics lies in fact not so much in the distribution of the phenomena in space, but rather in their succession in time.

Starting from a logically clear concept of probability, based on experience, using arguments which are usually called statistical, we can discover truth in wide domains of human interest.

I am prepared to concede without further argument that all the theoretical constructions, including geometry, which are used in the various branches of physics are only imperfect instruments to enable the world of empirical fact to be reconstructed in our minds.
