We have to give up the idea of realism to a far greater extent than most physicists believe today. — Anton Zeilinger Copy Share Image
Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
I found collaborating with congenial doctors about problems that physicists could help solve was very satisfying. I also like educating anybody who… — John Cameron Copy Share Image
All professionals, whether physicists, economists or musicians, live by and for peer judgment, even when they are being paid by people who… — Eric Hobsbawm Copy Share Image
Mathematicians also make terrible salesmen. Physicists can discover the same thing as a mathematician and say 'We've discovered a great new law… — Gian-Carlo Rota Copy Share Image
The physicists say that I am a mathematician, and the mathematicians say that I am a physicist. I am a completely isolated… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
The financial sector has so distorted salaries that physicists are getting drawn into the financial sector. All that has led to an… — Joseph Stiglitz Copy Share Image
Someone like Einstein was quite clearly a moralist, and he had a very highly developed political vision and was very spiritual in… — Jonathan Miller Copy Share Image
It would be a poor thing to be an atom in a universe without physicists, and physicists are made of atoms. A… — George Wald Copy Share Image
Modern scientific knowledge appeared piecemeal. Historians wrote about human history; physicists tackled the material world; and biologists studied the world of living… — David Christian Copy Share Image
Almost in the same way as earlier physicists are said to have found suddenly that they had too little mathematical understanding to… — Ludwig Wittgenstein Copy Share Image
I'm convinced that a controlled disrespect for authority is essential to a scientist. All the good experimental physicists I have known have… — Luis Walter Alvarez Copy Share Image
I recognize that many physicists are smarter than I am-most of them theoretical physicists. A lot of smart people have gone into… — Linus Pauling Copy Share Image
“In fact, meta- and particle physicists have more in common than one might suppose: both tug, if in slightly different directions, at… — Tim Mackintosh-Smith Copy Share Image
It is quite true that many scientists, many physicists, maintain that the physical constants, the half dozen or so numbers that physicists… — Richard Dawkins Copy Share Image
“While twentieth-century physicists were not able to identify any convincing mathematical constants underlying the fine structure, partly because such thinking has normally… — Carl Johan Calleman Copy Share Image
The physicist may be satisfied when he has the mathematical scheme and knows how to use for the interpretation of the experiments.… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
I still can't figure out what inspired me to do physics. But since I was nine or ten years old, I wanted… — Vandana Shiva Copy Share Image
Boundaries which mark off one field of science from another are purely artificial, are set up only for temporary convenience. Let chemists… — George Iles Copy Share Image
As a physicist, I can state that none of the 18 physicists who signed the Statement works in this field; nor to… — David Douglass Copy Share Image
“First, some physicists insist that quantum mechanics cannot be formulated without taking into account the minds of observers. They argue that minds… — Rupert Sheldrake Copy Share Image
In the good old days physicists repeated each other's experiments, just to be sure. Today they stick to FORTRAN, so that they… — Edsger Dijkstra Copy Share Image
The ultimate goal of physicists is to arrive at an equation that explains everything and could fit on a t-shirt. That may… — Lawrence M. Krauss Copy Share Image
Some physicists describe gravity in terms of ten dimensions all curled up. But those aren't real words-just placeholders, used to refer to… — Scott Adams Copy Share Image
There's branches of science which I don't understand; for example, physics. It could be said, I suppose, that I have faith that… — Richard Dawkins Copy Share Image
There are theoretical physicists who imagine, deduce, and guess at new laws, but do not experiment; and then there are experimental physicists… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Just as a poet often has license from the rules of grammar and pronunciation, we should like to ask for 'physicists' license… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“When theoretical physicists have no clue what something is, how it works or what the hell is going on, they start tacking… — Terence Thirteen Copy Share Image
“Was Mileva simply a sounding board for his brainstorms, as some scientists insisted? Did she only assist him with the complicated mathematical… — Marie Benedict Copy Share Image
The weapons were conceived and created by a small band of physicists and chemists; they remain a cataclysmic threat to the whole… — Barry Commoner Copy Share Image
The Cern laboratory in Geneva was set up in 1955 to bring together European scientists who wished to pursue research into the… — Martin Rees Copy Share Image
We physicists don't like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
The greatest progress is in the sciences that study the simplest systems. So take, say, physics - greatest progress there. But one… — Noam Chomsky Copy Share Image
We are fast approaching a situation in which nobody will believe anything we [physicists] say in any matter that touches upon our… — Leo Kadanoff Copy Share Image
While their methods differ radically, artists and physicists share the desire to investigate the ways the interlocking pieces of reality fit together.… — Leonard Shlain Copy Share Image
“Physicists are notoriously scornful of scientists from other fields. When the great Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli’s wife left him for a chemist,… — Bill Bryson Copy Share Image
Most of physics is about energy, and physicists understand inefficiencies. I wanted to write a book about our energy options in a… — David J. C. MacKay Copy Share Image
Physicists have a bias to aspire to be "seers" like Einstein rather than "craftspeople" who do simple and practical research. I have… — Robert J. Shiller Copy Share Image
