Western Scientists are in awe of Divine Beauty
Allah is beautiful. And He loves beauty and elegance All those beautiful things in nature is a proof of His Divine brilliance !! Western scientists have discovered this beauty in a different way One such scientist is Werner Heisenberg

When framing hypotheses, scientists use beauty and elegance as winnowing fans. The more beautiful a theory, the more likely is it to be true. Interestingly, the more rarified the study such as higher forms of mathematics and quantum physics, the more likely is beauty found to be a reliable guide.
The famous mathematical physicist Hermann Weyl said with evident amusement, “My work has always tried to unite the true with the beautiful and when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.”
The quantum physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote to Einstein, “You may object that by speaking of simplicity and beauty I am introducing aesthetic criteria of truth, and I frankly admit that I am strongly attracted by the simplicity and beauty of the mathematical schemes which nature presents us.”
