Today's preoccupation with physical theories of everything takes a wrong turn from the purpose of science - to question all things relentlessly.… — Robert Lanza Copy Share Image
Modern physics is describing what the ancient wisdom keepers of the Americas have long known. These shamans, known as 'the Earthkeepers,' say… — Alberto Villoldo Copy Share Image
All of modern physics is governed by that magnificent and thoroughly confusing discipline called quantum mechanics ... It has survived all tests… — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
I think that modern physics has definitely decided in favor of Plato. In fact the smallest units of matter are not physical… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
As modern physics started with the Newtonian revolution, so modern philosophy starts with what one might call the Cartesian Catastrophe. The catastrophe… — Arthur Koestler Copy Share Image
Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any system cannot be discovered by dividing it into its component parts and… — Max Planck Copy Share Image
If time is treated in modern physics as a dimension on a par with the dimensions of space, why should we a… — Arthur Koestler Copy Share Image
“It is the dull and elementary parts of applied mathematics, as it is the dull and elementary parts of pure mathematics, that… — G.H. Hardy Copy Share Image

Assessing existence while failing to embrace the insights of modern physics would be like wrestling in the dark with an unknown opponent. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
The development of physics in the twentieth century already has transformed the consciousness of those involved with it. The study (of modern… — Gary Zukav Copy Share Image
One of the weird things about modern physics is that we do find there are apparently these other dimensions that we don't… — David Grinspoon Copy Share Image

“In his first philosophical lecture on modern physics that Pauli gave in November 1934 to the Zurich Philosophical Society he said that… — Charles P. Enz Copy Share Image
The velocity of light occupies an extraordinary place in modern physics. It is lèse-majesté to make any criticism of the velocity of… — Anthony Standen Copy Share Image
Fourier's theorem is not only one of the most beautiful results of modern analysis, but it may be said to furnish an… — Lord Kelvin Copy Share Image
In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be "known"… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image

Our entire much-praised technological progress, and civilization generally, could be compared to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal. — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realises that here the foundations of… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
I do find that Western medicine is more and more open to proving energetic concepts. Why not, because modern physics is 100… — Deborah King Copy Share Image
Apparently there is a great discovery or insight which our culture is deliberately designed to suppress, distort, and ignore. That is that… — Terence McKenna Copy Share Image
Modern physics has changed nothing in the great classical disciplines of, for instance, mechanics, optics, and heat. Only the conception of hitherto… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
