It is not intuitive ease I am after, but rather a point of view which is sufficiently definite to clear up some… — Karl Popper Copy Share Image
It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Yet, at the quantum level, NO part of the body lives apart from the rest. There are no wires holding together the… — Deepak Chopra Copy Share Image
We look at the human body as a biochemical machine controlled by genes and therefore we see a mechanical aspect to life… — Bruce H. Lipton Copy Share Image
Scientists, therefore, are responsible for their research, not only intellectually but also morally. This responsibility has become an important issue in many… — 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
“At a workshop attended by expert researchers in quantum mechanichs in 1997, Max Tegmark took an admittedly highly unscienfific poll of the… — Sean Carroll Copy Share Image
“Quantum mechanics, for example, shows us that we are not as separate from the rest of the world as we once thought.… — Georg Feuerstein Copy Share Image
It seems to me that we must make a distinction between what is "objective" and what is "measurable" in discussing the question… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
The quantum entered physics with a jolt. It didn't fit anywhere; it made no sense; it contradicted everything we thought we knew… — David C. Cassidy Copy Share Image
“Defective is an adjective that has long been deemed too freighted for liberal discourse, but the medical terms that have supplanted it—illness,… — Andrew Solomon Copy Share Image
“I spoke of the 'real' mathematics of Fermat and other great mathematicians, the mathematics which has permanent aesthetic value, as for example… — G.H. Hardy Copy Share Image
“Quantum mechanics. What a repository, a dump, of human aspiration it was, the borderland where mathematical rigor defeated common sense, and reason… — Ian McEwan Copy Share Image
“We know that the uncertainty relation implies not only the absence of empty space but also the nature of the minimal content… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“The myth of quantum consciousness sits well with many whose egos have made it impossible for them to accept the insignificant place… — Victor J. Stenger Copy Share Image

“In a Newtonian world, all physical quantities, like energy and spin, can take on any values whatsoever. They range over the entire… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
The discontinuous 'reduction of the wave packets' which cannot be derived from Schroedinger's equation is ... a consequence of the transition from… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Bell's theorem...proves that quantum theory requires connections that appear to resemble telepathic communication. — Gary Zukav Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Just because quantum mechanics is weird does not mean that everything that is weird is quantum mechanics. — Victor J. Stenger Copy Share Image
