If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
God does not play dice [with the universe]. [Ger., Gott wurfelt nicht.] — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature. — Immanuel Kant Copy Share Image
...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
From the outset, however, this whole controversy has been plagued by tacit assumptions, very often of a philosophical rather than a physical… — David Bohm Copy Share Image
The so-called mysteries of quantum mechanics are in its philosophical interpretation, not in its mathematics. — Victor J. Stenger Copy Share Image
Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective… — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
Anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy hasn't understood it. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding. — Martin Fleischmann Copy Share Image
“If we parallelize quantum mechanics with reality, then we should consider more information than what we perceive as probable and as reality.” — Maria Karvouni Copy Share Image
“If quantum mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet. Everything we call real is made of things that cannot… — Ziad Masri Copy Share Image
The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in… — Bernard d'Espagnat Copy Share Image
“First, some physicists insist that quantum mechanics cannot be formulated without taking into account the minds of observers. They argue that minds… — Rupert Sheldrake Copy Share Image
“He smiled proudly at the machine Ephraim was staring at. "That's our Coheron Drive. Isn't she beautiful? I helped build her." Ephraim… — E.C. Myers Copy Share Image
You know how it always is, every new idea, it takes a generation or two until it becomes obvious that there's no… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
According to quantum mechanics there is no such thing as objectivity. We cannot eliminate ourselves from the picture. We are part of… — Gary Zukav Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics is just completely strange and counterintuitive. We can't believe that things can be here [in one place] and there [in… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
“No phenomenon directly involving a frequency has yet been detected above approximately 10^12 cycles per second. We only deduce the higher frequencies… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the… — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
Atoms are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the… — Freeman Dyson Copy Share Image
Ancient wisdom and quantum physicists make unlikely bedfellows: In quantum mechanics the observer determines (or even brings into being) what is observed,… — Huston Smith Copy Share Image
“Another very good test some readers may want to look up, which we do not have space to describe here, is the… — Gordon L. Kane Copy Share Image
I favour an interpretation of quantum mechanics (the 'Everett interpretation') according to which reality branches in any chancy quantum situation. On this… — David Papineau Copy Share Image
“Heisenberg's uncertainty relation measures the amount by which the complementary descriptions of the electron, or other fundamental entities, overlap. Position is very… — John Gribbin Copy Share Image
“In the world described by quantum mechanics there is no reality except in the relations between physical systems. It isn’t things that… — Carlo Rovelli Copy Share Image
“Quantum fluctuations are, at their root, completely a-causal, in the sense that cause and effect and ordering of events in time is… — Sten F. Odenwald Copy Share Image
“Quantum mechanics says that it is completely correct to say that the universe’s evolution is determined not by how it started in… — Frank J. Tipler Copy Share Image
“What if our worldline is just one of an infinite number of worldlines, some only slightly altered from the life we know,… — Blake Crouch Copy Share Image
“Why does the theory of evolution provoke such objections, whereas nobody seems to care about the theory of relativity or quantum mechanics?… — Yuval Noah Harari Copy Share Image
“Quantum theory, in turn, has its own trouble with infinities. They appear whenever you attempt to use quantum mechanics to describe fields,… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“The field of the electron is real because it results from the laws of quantum mechanics and appropriate initial conditions. The laws… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“We have good reason to believe that space and time begin to merge into quantum mechanical uncertainty at distances this small; they… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“During the life of a black hole, it will pull in huge amounts of matter, carrying huge amounts of intrinsic information. At… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Positional, or potential energy, is the energy we add to a rock when we lift it from the floor and put it… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“It has been said that, in scale, a human being is about halfway between an atom and a star. Interestingly, this is… — Brian May Copy Share Image
