| 17544 | Basic particles have a mathematical form, which is more important than their substance [Heisenberg] |
| 23551 | It is necessary for a belief that it be held for a length of time [Fricker,M] |
| 23558 | Offering knowledge needs accuracy and sincerity; receiving it needs testimonial justice [Fricker,M] |
| 23553 | Testimonial judgement is not logical, but produces reasons and motivations [Fricker,M] |
| 23550 | Burge says we are normally a priori entitled to believe testimony [Fricker,M] |
| 23552 | We assess testimonial probabilities by the speaker, the listener, the facts, and the circumstances [Fricker,M] |
| 23555 | Assessing credibility involves the impact of both the speaker's and the listener's social identity [Fricker,M] |
| 17550 | We give a mathematical account of a system of natural connections in order to clarify them [Heisenberg] |

| 17548 | Maxwell introduced real fields, which transferred forces from point to point [Heisenberg] |
