Abstract
In this session I would like to ask a somewhat different question. It actually is motivated by Einstein. Can one expect a good influence of religion on the study of physics and its progress? Often one finds the opposite opinion among physicists—that as soon as we have progress in physics we do not need religion anymore. Some go as far as to say that we do not need God anymore for explaining the whole thing. I would like to ask you, what is your opinion in this respect and do you believe there is an interaction between religion and physics? Can they mutually motivate each other or are they completely insulated from one another?
