Evolution is among the most well-established theories in the scientific community. To doubt it sounds to biologists as absurd as denying relativity… — Leonard Mlodinow Copy Share Image
Art is based on very clear, mathematical principles like proportion and harmony. At the same time, physicists need to be inventive, to… — Fabiola Gianotti Copy Share Image
Black holes are very exotic objects. Technically, a black hole puts a huge amount of mass inside of zero volume. So our… — Andrea M. Ghez Copy Share Image
Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not… — Friedrich Durrenmatt Copy Share Image
We must be physicists in order to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance… — Friedrich Nietzsche Copy Share Image

If physics is too difficult for the physicists, the nonphysicist may wonder whether he should try at all to grasp its complexities… — Edward Condon Copy Share Image
As physics students, we are taught that physicists are smart, that chemists are moderately acceptable, and that biologists are certainly not very… — James Rothman Copy Share Image
“I’m relieved to see that even brilliant physicists make mistakes.” Kohler looked over. “What do you mean?” “Whoever wrote that note made… — Dan Brown Copy Share Image
If you want to find out anything from the theoretical physicists about the methods they use, I advise you to stick closely… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“What did we do wrong?' The Physicists cry. But in exasperation, they are forced to give up. Their feelings border on despair.… — Fred Alan Wolf Copy Share Image
“Theoretical physicists are Platonists. Until the last few years, they believed that the entire universe, the one universe, was generated from a… — Alan Lightman Copy Share Image
Quantum theory was split up into dialects. Different people describe the same experiences in remarkably different languages. This is confusing even to… — David Finkelstein Copy Share Image
Physics is perceived as a lonesome, nerdy kind of enterprise that has very little to do with human feelings and the things… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
It seems hopelessly improbable that any particular rules accidentally led to the miracle of intelligent life. Nevertheless, this is exactly what most… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
Physicists and mathematicians regularly invade other fields but other fields do not invade theirs so we can see which fields are hardest… — Dominic Cummings Copy Share Image
Symmetry does mean something different for physicists than for members of the public. It means that an object or a theory does… — Lawrence M. Krauss Copy Share Image
There are street artists. Street musicians. Street actors. But there are no street physicists. A little known secret is that a physicist… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
Four years ago nobody but nuclear physicists had ever heard of the Internet. Today even my cat, Socks, has his own web… — William J. Clinton 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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
The ability to work together has to be in the blood of particle physicists. They learn very early on that it is… — Rolf-Dieter Heuer Copy Share Image
Our users are trapeze artists, high school football coaches - I got cornered by a couple of theoretical physicists who said Dropbox… — Drew Houston Copy Share Image
Science itself is badly in need of integration and unification. The tendency is more and more the other way ... Only the… — Isidor Isaac Rabi Copy Share Image
