Abstract

Previously, equations were not always as prominent in, nor as identified with, scientific methodology as they are now. The greatness of such equations has something to do with their role in the advance of science. Uniquely, equations do not refer directly to things but to quantities measured from special situations staged in the laboratory. Nevertheless, whether an equation is great has something to do not only with the properties of the equation, but also with the scope and depth of the phenomena to which it refers.
