The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them

Inaugural Article By C M Will
I really like the nice article by physicist Will. It is titled "On the unreasonable effectiveness of the post-newtonian approximation in gravitational physics". I think, it is accessible to anyone with a fundamental knowledge of general relativity (GR). Personally, I suddenly feel the study of GR so handy. Before I read this article, GR to me is quite like an abstract. This article shows me the experimental aspects in light of GR equations. OK. read it for yourself. [PNAS, 108:5938(2011)].
