“Avec le temps, l'impossible devient possible, le possible probable, et le probable virtuellement certain.”
“The Origin of Life” in Editors of Scientific American, The Physics and Chemistry
of Life (NY: Simon & Schuster, 1955), p. 9.
En anglais : "Time is in fact the hero of the plot. The time with which we have to deal is of the order of 2 billion years. What we regard as impossible on the basis of human experience is meaningless here. Given so much time, the ‘impossible’ becomes possible, the possible probable, and the probable virtually certain. One has only to wait: time itself performs the miracles."
