Physics is simple but subtle.(*)
Paul Ehrenfest

Being a physicist is just the beginning.
Applying physics is the challenge.
Physics is simple, engineering physics is not.
Brian Ridley, FRS (2001)

No single action, activity, or curricular reform
will rescue a struggling physics department.
Rather, it takes many elements, interacting
over time, to make a department thrive.
Why many undergraduate physics
programs are good but few are great.
R.C. Hilborn & R.H. Howes

Our entangled world can render the general
practice of physics almost invisible. Though its role
is often obscured, physics remains vital to the
advance of science and the betterment
of humankind.
The Entangled Dance of Physics,
Stephen G. Benka

CONCEPTO FULM: Física Ubicada Localmente y Multidisciplinaria*.

En primer lugar, aclaramos que, aquí, la raíz local, en localmente, no significa exclusivamente Venezuela. El significado del término "localmente" está circunscrito a las potencialidades del entorno local que la EDF tiene, las cuales incluyen diversas (aunque no seguras, sino más bien potenciales) opciones y oportunidades internacionales.

"No es porque las cosas son difíciles
que no nos atrevemos; es porque no nos
atrevemos que son difíciles."
Séneca (1 BC–AD 65)

"The whole system of science, society,
and nature is evolving in fundamental ways
that cause us to rethink the way science is
deployed to help people cope with a
changing world. Scientists should be
leading the dialogue on scientific priorities,
new institutional arrangements, and
improved mechanisms to disseminate
and utilize knowledge more quickly."
