Our job in physics is to see things simply, to understand a great many complicated phenomena in a unified way, in terms… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
If (the antiproton) had not been discovered, the foundations of physics really would have crumbled. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
In our universe we are tuned into the frequency that corresponds to physical reality. But there are an infinite number of parallel… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
I was born in 1933 in New York City to Frederick and Eva Weinberg. My early inclination toward science received encouragement from… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
The more comprehensible the universe becomes the more pointless it seems. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
I now want to tell three stories about advances in twentieth-century physics. A curious fact emerges in these tales: time and again… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
There is now a feeling that the pieces of physics are falling into place, not because of any single revolutionary idea or… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“To calculate 'the' fine structure constant, 1/137, we would need a realistic model of just about everything, and this we do not… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“What is surely impossible is that a theoretical physicist, given unlimited computing power, should deduce from the laws of physics that a… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“There is a beauty in these laws that mirrors something that is built into the structure of the universe at a very… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Nothing in physics seems so hopeful to as the idea that it is possible for a theory to have a high degree… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“Fine Structure Constant: Fundamental numerical constant of atomic physics and quantum electrodynamics, defined as the square of the charge of the electron… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“Once again I repeat: the aim pf physics at its most fundamental level is not just to describe the world but ti… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Any possible universe could be explained as the work of some sort of designer. Even a universe that is completely chaotic...could be… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Quantum field theory, which was born just fifty years ago from the marriage of quantum mechanics with relativity, is a beautiful but… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“The apparent strengths of the forces in any field theory depend on two kinds of numerical parameter: the masses (if any) of the particles… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“Many people do simply awful things out of sincere religious belief, not using religion as a cover the way that Saddam Hussein may have… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
This is often the way it is in physics - our mistake is not that we take our theories too seriously, but that we… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
I would say it's a lot easier to develop a decoy system than to develop the intercontinental ballistic missile itself. I would think that… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Rational argument can be defeated by refusing to argue rationally. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
The universe is an enormous direct product of representations of symmetry groups. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Its a consequence of the experience of science. As you learn more and more about the universe, you find you can understand more and… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
