On the basis of Lorentz's theory, if we limit ourselves to…

Nature gives us all, including Prof. Lorentz, surprises. It was very quickly found that there are many exceptions to the rule of splitting of…

“So strong was the preconception of absolute space and time in the scientific mentality of those days, that Lorentz did not realize the grand…

— Felix Alba-Juez

“The Lorentz transformations, with their absolute condition c (the speed of light, with light being massless, maximally length-contracted and time-dilated) show that the “physical”…

“Independent and stubborn natures, such as are particularly common among men of learning, do not readily bow to another's will and for the most…

According to well-known electrodynamic laws, an electron moving in a magnetic field is acted upon by a force which runs perpendicular to the direction…

— Pieter Zeeman

The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio…

My wife and I have long discussions about [George] Carlin, and we refuse to accept that he died an atheist. It's just, confounding. When…

Yes, Jenna, I love you with all my heart. And with my atoms and molecules and electrons and whatever further breakdown you require.

— Sharon Shinn

Can a physicist visualize an electron? The electron is materially inconceivable and yet, it is so perfectly known through its effects that we use…

— Wernher von Braun

Not sense data or atoms or electrons or packets of energy, but purposes, interests, and meanings, constitute the underlying facts of human experience.

— Lewis Mumford

Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the undular.

— Werner Heisenberg

“When you ask what are electrons and protons I ought to answer that this question is not a profitable one to ask and does…

— Paul A.M. Dirac

It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and…

— Kristian Birkeland

Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. That is that entire universe is made of matter, obviously. And matter is…

— Martin Gardner

“Electrons and photons are still worse. In graduate school I roomed for a time with a particle physicist. He ended one attempt to explain…
