The world of science lives fairly comfortably with paradox. We know that light is a wave, and also that light is a… — Madeleine L'Engle Copy Share Image
The standard model of particle physics describes forces and particles very well, but when you throw gravity into the equation, it all… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
“I don’t get it,” Clarence whispered to me. “We’re the only ones in the place. When are your friends supposed to get… — Tad Williams Copy Share Image
I do theoretical particle physics. We're trying to understand the most basic structure of matter. And the way you do that is… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
“It seems to me trivially true that particle physics does in fact deal with the simplest objects in the entire universe: atoms… — Massimo Pigliucci Copy Share Image
So far Unitarian realism claiming to possess positive knowledge about Ultimate Reality has succeeded only by excluding large areas of phenomena or… — Paul Feyerabend Copy Share Image
It's becoming clear that in a sense the cosmos provides the only laboratory where sufficiently extreme conditions are ever achieved to test… — Martin Rees Copy Share Image
“Despite my resistance to hyperbole, the LHC belongs to a world that can only be described with superlatives. It is not merely… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Which is to say that culture is not a reflex of political economy, but that society is now a reflex of key… — Arthur Kroker Copy Share Image
I read a lot of science books - I love cosmology, quantum theory, particle physics. So my idea of a great read… — Augusten Burroughs Copy Share Image
I had been interested in particle physics, which deals with the fundamental constituents of matter. — Ashoke Sen Copy Share Image
Is the universe 'elegant,' as Brian Greene tells us? Not as far as I can tell, not the usual laws of particle… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
Mathematics is not something that you find lying around in your back yard. It's produced by the human mind. Yet if we… — Paul Davies Copy Share Image

“There's atoms, which is things that is too small to see, that's what we're all made of. And there's things that are… — Neil Gaiman Copy Share Image
Today's particle physics describe light as a crumple in space, and we may have deformed space in such a way that they… — Dwight Schultz Copy Share Image
“How could the vacuum, which has nothing in it, have any energy at all? The answer comes from another equation: Einstein's famous… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
I can only speak for particle physics. But it has become obvious that on the experimental side, there has been a huge… — Peter Higgs Copy Share Image
“Another class of universal truths is the conservation laws, where the amount of some measured quantity remains unchanged no matter what. The… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
