No. I had successfully solved the difficulty of finding a description of the electron which was consistent with both relativity and quantum… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
There's a branch of math called the foundations of math. It's kind of like quantum mechanics. It's about how this very complex… — Tristan Perich Copy Share Image
Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of. Quick: try to think of a single movie about the horrors of Stalinism. This… — Mona Charen Copy Share Image
I find enough mystery in mathematics to satisfy my spiritual needs. I think, for example, that pi is mysterious enough (don't get… — Tom Lehrer Copy Share Image
Because of recent improvements in the accuracy of theoretical predictions based on large scale ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, meaningful comparisons between… — Yuan T. Lee Copy Share Image
“It’s sometimes said that the greatest remaining scientific questions are: What caused the Big Bang? What is the grand unified theory that… — Rick Hanson Copy Share Image
Typically in science, individual scientists make up their minds about scientific fact or theory one at a time. We don't take votes.… — Alan Stern Copy Share Image
Because the theory of quantum mechanics could explain all of chemistry and the various properties of substances, it was a tremendous success.… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The movement of a single atom from one known position to another known position changes an experience from nothing to overwhelming. This… — Terence McKenna Copy Share Image
If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to… — James Lovelock Copy Share Image
But I don't actually adopt the point of view that our subjective impression of free will, which is a kind of indeterminacy… — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
I've been a big astrophysics nut since I was 12. I have always had a real soft spot for the bizarreness of… — Kate McKinnon Copy Share Image
“The Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics posits that all possible realities exist. That everything which has a probability of happening is happening.… — Blake Crouch Copy Share Image
Nikola Tesla teaches us to look within without looking at the entirety of the seeable universe. When we do this we're tapping… — Jeremy Limn Copy Share Image
What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum… — Frank Tipler Copy Share Image
I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It… — Paul Davies Copy Share Image
“People want electrons to orbit atoms like tiny planets, hard and regular. They make sense that way. People like that…they don't want… — Adam Felber Copy Share Image
“Nobody is above you, no one below. You're as ordinary or extraordinary as any other - since all's an immanent oneness of… — Fakeer Ishavardas Copy Share Image
Certainly we do not need quantum mechanics for macroscopic objects, which are well described by classical physics - this is the reason… — Alain Aspect Copy Share Image
I've been very involved in this quantum holographic formalism and helping to explore it as explanatory of the very root of our… — Edgar Mitchell Copy Share Image
People don't learn science in movies. You don't go to the movies thinking, 'I hope I learn some quantum mechanics this afternoon.'… — Seth Shostak Copy Share Image
Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are both accepted as scientific fact even though they're mutually exclusive. Albert Einstein spent the second half… — Roy H. Williams Copy Share Image
It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“I remember discussions with Bohr which went through many hours till very late at night and ended almost in despair; and when… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“Apparently, when people travel between dimensions, their physical forms are "no longer observable," which is a quantum mechanics thing, and explaining it… — Claudia Gray Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. The theory says… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
![“If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves.
