The Theory of Quantum Mechanics says that my life has to fall apart for it to come back together in a higher… — Ms Becky From Msbatmancom Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
When you do calculations using quantum mechanics, even when you are calculating something perfectly sensible like the energy of an atomic state,… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
When the province of physical theory was extended to encompass microscopic phenomena through the creation of quantum mechanics, the concept of consciousness… — Eugene Wigner Copy Share Image
“You create reality by looking at it, is what Quantum Mechanics suggests. This may sound outrageously magical. Quantum Mechanics or QM, is… — Sharad Nalawade Copy Share Image
“The strength of the familiar electromagnetic force between two electrons, for example, is expressed in physics in terms of a constant known… — Mario Livio Copy Share Image
“In Keynes’s time, physicists were first grappling with the concept of quantum mechanics, which, among other things, imagined a cosmos governed by… — Peter D. Schiff Copy Share Image
The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
A. Douglas Stone, a physicist who has spent his life using quantum mechanics to explore striking new phenomena, has turned his considerable… — Peter Galison Copy Share Image
“The laws of quantum mechanics don't permit the removal of arbitrary amounts of energy from a system consisting of two mutually attractive… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
From the point of view of logic, my report on 'Exclusion principle and quantum mechanics' has no conclusion. I believe that it… — Wolfgang Pauli Copy Share Image
“in experimental quantum mechanics we have run right up against what was previously perceived to be a purely philosophical barrier. The experiments… — Jim Baggott Copy Share Image
When things get tough, there are two things that make life worth living: Mozart, and quantum mechanics — Victor Frederick Weisskopf Copy Share Image
I'm not looking to be a trophy. When not acting, I spend my time studying metaphysics and quantum mechanics to keep my… — Tanit Phoenix Copy Share Image
I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac, among "real" mathematicians. The great modern achievements of applied mathematics have been in relativity… — G. H. Hardy Copy Share Image
Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“The mind reels when we realize that, according to this interpretation of quantum mechanics, all possible worlds coexist with us. Although wormholes… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
If I realize that actually there's quantum mechanics happening around us all the time in some macroscopic, interconnected way, then that doesn't… — Aaron D. O'Connell Copy Share Image
A further aspect I should like to discuss is what I call the practice of infinite escape clauses. I believe we developed… — Sidney W. Fox Copy Share Image
“Where misunderstanding dwells, misuse will not be far behind. No theory in the history of science has been more misused and abused… — Sean Carroll Copy Share Image
The more you study quantum mechanics, the more crazy and incomprehensible it becomes. You truly do need a Ph.D. in very high… — Blake Crouch Copy Share Image
Can quantum mechanics represent the fact that an electron finds itself approximately in a given place and that it moves approximately with… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“though some wicked master of a form of origami akin to quantum mechanics spent the night folding the evils of the world… — Dean Koontz Copy Share Image
“As mentioned before, quantum mechanics guarantees that any physical system with finite energy confined to a finite volume of space has a… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for, he himself knows best, and feels… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“According to string theory in quantum mechanics the core of energy and matter on a subatomic level is a vibrating, string-like filament… — Russell Anthony Gibbs Copy Share Image
There are many things that we still don't understand about the universe, right? Einstein struggled to bring quantum mechanics and gravity together… — Edward Boyden Copy Share Image
“The nature of the 'collapse of the wave function' is determined by our self-concept stored in the subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind… — Kevin Michel Copy Share Image
