When confronted with the order and beauty of the universe and the strange coincidences of nature, it's very tempting to take the… — Tony Rothman Copy Share Image
Most of us who become experimental physicists do so for two reasons; we love the tools of physics because to us they… — Luis Walter Alvarez Copy Share Image
“the best data scientists tend to be “hard scientists,” particularly physicists, rather than computer science majors. Physicists have a strong mathematical background,… — O'Reilly Radar Team Copy Share Image
“Particle physicists are the most deeply Platonic because their entire subject is built upon a belief that the deepest workings of the… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
“My purpose in the classroom, and the main reason I’ve written this book, is to translate the truly astounding, groundbreaking, sometimes even… — Walter Lewin Copy Share Image
We, however, want to become those we are--human beings who are new, unique, incomparable, who give themselves laws, who create themselves. To… — Friedrich Nietzsche Copy Share Image
A good deal of my research in physics has consisted in not setting out to solve some particular problem, but simply examining… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
Chemists are, on the whole, like physicists, only 'less so'.They don't make quite the same wonderful mistakes, and much what they do… — Anthony Standen Copy Share Image
Physics has entered a remarkable era. Ideas that were once the realm of science fiction are now entering our theoretical and… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
I have a tendency, more than most other physicists, to try to figure out everything all at once, before I publish. And… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
Our relationships as experimentalists with theoretical physicists should be like those with a beautiful woman - we should accept with gratitude any… — Lev Artsimovich Copy Share Image
Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things.… — Terry Pratchett Copy Share Image
As we know from the work of certain fundamental physicists, people like Einstein were very dependent upon conjuring up visual images in… — Jonathan Miller Copy Share Image
Particle physicists may freeze a second, open it up, and explore its dappled contents like surgeons pawing through an abdomen, but in… — James Gleick Copy Share Image
Physicists are interested in measuring neutrino properties because they tell us about the structure of the Standard Model, the well-tested theory that… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Einstein believed deeply that science should transcend national and ethnic divisions. But he watched physicists and chemists become the purveyors of weapons… — Krista Tippett Copy Share Image
The importance of group theory was emphasized very recently when some physicists using group theory predicted the existence of a particle that… — Irving Adler Copy Share Image
I was raised on technology. I grew up in Livermore, California, a town of physicists and cowboys. My parents worked at the… — Cynthia Breazeal Copy Share Image
The temptation to believe that the Universe is the product of some sort of design, a manifestation of subtle aesthetic and mathematical… — Paul Davies Copy Share Image
By having simplified what is known, physicists have been led into realms which as yet are anything but simple. That at some… — Edward Teller Copy Share Image
Many respectable physicists said that they weren't going to stand for this -- partly because it was a debasement of science, but… — Douglas Adams Copy Share Image
Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved… — John Cameron Copy Share Image
My teacher, Hopkins, often commented on the craving for certainty that led so many physicists into mysticism or into the Church and… — Norman Pirie Copy Share Image
Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and… — John Cameron Copy Share Image
Originally, the burden of proof was on physicists to prove that time travel was possible. Now the burden of proof is on… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
What of course I would like to be writing is the story of the Red and White Dwarves and their Remembering Mirror,… — Doris Lessing Copy Share Image
Scientists, especially physicists, we're presumptuous and think we can do everything better than everybody else. And one thing that I realized early… — Barry Barish Copy Share Image
It was Einstein's dream to discover the grand design of the universe, a single theory that explains everything. However, physicists in Einstein's… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
