Most 20th century academic physicists, and academia as a whole, simply did not want to touch the subject of consciousness. We have… — Edgar Mitchell Copy Share Image
Physics has entered a remarkable era. Ideas that were once the realm of science fiction are now entering our theoretical and… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Chemists are, on the whole, like physicists, only 'less so'.They don't make quite the same wonderful mistakes, and much what they do… — Anthony Standen Copy Share Image
The strength and weakness of physicists is that we believe in what we can measure. And if we can't measure it, then… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image

It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Physics admits of a lovely unification, not just at the level of fundamental forces, but when considering its extent and implications. Classifications… — Ted Chiang Copy Share Image
“Very strange people, physicists, " he said as soon as they were outside again. "In my experience the ones who aren't actually… — Douglas Adams Copy Share Image
Female physicists, astronomers and mathematicians are up against more than 2,000 years of convention that has long portrayed these fields as inherently male. — Margaret Wertheim Copy Share Image
“I now view theoretical physicists the same way I view politicians. If their lips are moving, they’re lying. If their lips aren’t… — Terence Thirteen Copy Share Image
The physicists are getting down to the nitty-gritty, they've really just about pared things down to the ultimate details, and the last… — John Updike Copy Share Image
Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved… — John Cameron Copy Share Image
Many respectable physicists said that they weren't going to stand for this -- partly because it was a debasement of science, but… — Douglas Adams Copy Share Image
Originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. Now the burden of proof is on… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Scientists, especially physicists, we're presumptuous and think we can do everything better than everybody else. And one thing that I realized early… — Barry Barish Copy Share Image
What of course I would like to be writing is the story of the Red and White Dwarves and their Remembering Mirror,… — Doris Lessing Copy Share Image
Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and… — John Cameron Copy Share Image
My teacher, Hopkins, often commented on the craving for certainty that led so many physicists into mysticism or into the Church and… — Norman Pirie Copy Share Image
Einstein believed deeply that science should transcend national and ethnic divisions. But he watched physicists and chemists become the purveyors of weapons… — Krista Tippett Copy Share Image
Physicists are interested in measuring neutrino properties because they tell us about the structure of the Standard Model, the well-tested theory that… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
As we know from the work of certain fundamental physicists, people like Einstein were very dependent upon conjuring up visual images in… — Jonathan Miller Copy Share Image
Particle physicists may freeze a second, open it up, and explore its dappled contents like surgeons pawing through an abdomen, but in… — James Gleick Copy Share Image
The temptation to believe that the Universe is the product of some sort of design, a manifestation of subtle aesthetic and mathematical… — Paul Davies Copy Share Image
