A good deal of my research in physics has consisted in not setting out to solve some particular problem, but simply examining… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
We, however, want to become those we are--human beings who are new, unique, incomparable, who give themselves laws, who create themselves. To… — Friedrich Nietzsche Copy Share Image
“My purpose in the classroom, and the main reason I’ve written this book, is to translate the truly astounding, groundbreaking, sometimes even… — Walter Lewin Copy Share Image
“Particle physicists are the most deeply Platonic because their entire subject is built upon a belief that the deepest workings of the… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
Black holes are very exotic objects. Technically, a black hole puts a huge amount of mass inside of zero volume. So our… — Andrea M. Ghez Copy Share Image
I confess I sometimes sneak a peek at 'The Big Bang Theory.' I chuckle at their antics. But I cringe when they… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
Evolution is among the most well-established theories in the scientific community. To doubt it sounds to biologists as absurd as denying relativity… — Leonard Mlodinow Copy Share Image
Art is based on very clear, mathematical principles like proportion and harmony. At the same time, physicists need to be inventive, to… — Fabiola Gianotti Copy Share Image
Theoretical physicists live in a classical world, looking out into a quantum-mechanical world. The latter we describe only subjectively, in terms of… — John Stewart Bell Copy Share Image
Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not… — Friedrich Durrenmatt Copy Share Image
The greatest progress is in the sciences that study the simplest systems. So take, say, physics - greatest progress there. But one… — Noam Chomsky Copy Share Image
Physicists have a bias to aspire to be "seers" like Einstein rather than "craftspeople" who do simple and practical research. I have… — Robert J. Shiller Copy Share Image
“Physicists love this number not just because it is dimensionless, but also because it is a combination of three fundamental constants of… — John Archibald Wheeler Copy Share Image
Most of physics is about energy, and physicists understand inefficiencies. I wanted to write a book about our energy options in a… — David J. C. MacKay Copy Share Image
While their methods differ radically, artists and physicists share the desire to investigate the ways the interlocking pieces of reality fit together.… — Leonard Shlain Copy Share Image
“Physicists are notoriously scornful of scientists from other fields. When the great Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli’s wife left him for a chemist,… — Bill Bryson Copy Share Image
We are fast approaching a situation in which nobody will believe anything we [physicists] say in any matter that touches upon our… — Leo Kadanoff Copy Share Image
Four years ago nobody but nuclear physicists had ever heard of the Internet. Today even my cat, Socks, has his own web… — William J. Clinton Copy Share Image
There are street artists. Street musicians. Street actors. But there are no street physicists. A little known secret is that a physicist… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
Physics is perceived as a lonesome, nerdy kind of enterprise that has very little to do with human feelings and the things… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
Quantum theory was split up into dialects. Different people describe the same experiences in remarkably different languages. This is confusing even to… — David Finkelstein Copy Share Image
We must be physicists in order to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance… — Friedrich Nietzsche Copy Share Image
Symmetry does mean something different for physicists than for members of the public. It means that an object or a theory does… — Lawrence M. Krauss Copy Share Image
Physicists and mathematicians regularly invade other fields but other fields do not invade theirs so we can see which fields are hardest… — Dominic Cummings Copy Share Image
It seems hopelessly improbable that any particular rules accidentally led to the miracle of intelligent life. Nevertheless, this is exactly what most… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
“The metaphorical or pantheistic God of the physicists is light years away from the interventionist, miracle-wreaking, thought-reading, sin-punishing, prayer-answering God of the… — Richard Dawkins Copy Share Image
Gradually, physicists began to realise that nature, at the atomic level, does not appear as a mechanical universe composed of fundamental building… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
...contemporary physicists come in two varieties. Type 1 physicists are bothered by EPR and Bell's Theorem. Type 2 (the majority) are not,… — David Mermin Copy Share Image
