→Quotations: ''Sire, je n'ai pas eu besoin de cette hypothèse'' (probably fake, but worth quoting)
* Man follows only phantoms.

* ''Sire, je n'ai pas eu besoin de cette hypothèse''. Laplace showed the Nebular hypothesis for the origins of the Solar System to Emperor Napoleon, who asked ''Where does God fit into your system?'' to which Laplace replied ''Sire, I have had no need for this hypothesis''.<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v3/i3/ideas.asp Pièrre Simon Laplace: The nebular hypothesis in answersingenesis.org]. This quote is probably false, since it was first found in [[Augustus De Morgan]]'s book, who also included the false Euler's ditto ''Monsieur, (a + b<sup>n</sup>/n = x, donc Dieu existe. Respondez!''</ref>.
