      Авторство цитаты до сих пор не подтверждено, по разным версиям эти слова могли принадлежать как Эддингтону, так и Дж. Б. С. Холдейну, английскому биологу, – именно его цитирует Артур Кларк в своей книге «Черты будущего» (1966). Эту фразу можно обнаружить на с. 286 его сборника эссе «Возможные миры» (Possible Worlds. 1927. URL: https://jbshaldane.org/books/1927-Possible-Worlds/haldane-1927-possible-worlds-ocr.pdf).
