“If you think you understand quantum theory . . . you don’t understand quantum theory.’*” — Richard Dawkins Copy Share Image
Quantum entanglement is a very intriguing issue, but it is not impossible. — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
I have a quantum car. Every time I look at the speedometer I get lost. — Steven Wright Copy Share Image
Among the lesser effects of quantum theory are gaping holes in old ideas about causality. — Ian Hacking Copy Share Image
“Quantum is not only physics. It is a new way of understanding reality.” — Ludmila Morozova-Buss Copy Share Image
Similarly, another famous little quantum fluctuation that programs you is the exact configuration of your DNA. — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
Quantum science suggests the existence of many possible futures for each moment of our lives. Each future lies in a state of… — Gregg Braden Copy Share Image
We talk about quantum weirdness and things being in two places at once, but it all involves atoms and molecules, stuff we… — Aaron D. O'Connell Copy Share Image
The so-called mysteries of quantum mechanics are in its philosophical interpretation, not in its mathematics. — Victor J. Stenger Copy Share Image
All the quantum physics experiments have occurred chiefly on the atomic scale and we are taught to believe that nature's laws are… — Mitch Horowitz Copy Share Image
Thinking about quantum physics is like unraveling your brain and putting it back together again upside down. Much like studying Kabbalah. — Rebecca Pidgeon Copy Share Image
If we do get a quantum theory of spacetime, it should answer some of the deepest philosophical questions that we have, like… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
The scientists often have more unfettered imaginations than current philosophers do. Relativity theory came as a complete surprise to philosophers, and so… — Robert Nozick Copy Share Image
“Quantum mechanics extends this relativity in a radical way: all variable aspects of an object exist only in relation to other objects.… — Carlo Rovelli Copy Share Image
In Darwin's theory, you just have to substitute 'mutations' for his 'slight accidental variations' (just as quantum theory substitutes 'quantum jump' for… — Erwin Schrodinger Copy Share Image
When the problem [quantum chromodynamics] is finally solved, it will all be by imagination. Then there will be some big thing about… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Bertrand Russell had given a talk on the then new quantum mechanics, of whose wonders he was most appreciative. He spoke hard… — J. Robert Oppenheimer Copy Share Image
In my view the structure of the whole atom was that of an individual, with all its parts interconnected, and the emission… — Johannes Stark Copy Share Image
The very nature of the quantum theory ... forces us to regard the space-time coordination and the claim of causality, the union… — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
For under certain conditions the chemical atoms emit light waves of a specific length or oscillation frequency - their familiar characteristic spectra… — Johannes Stark Copy Share Image
Physics is an otherworld thing, it requires a taste for things unseen, even unheard of- a high degree of abstraction... These faculties… — Isidor Isaac Rabi Copy Share Image
“The many-worlds theory basically maintains that the reason quantum mechanics seems so strange is because we have access to only one of… — Massimo Pigliucci Copy Share Image
“A critical piece of holistic self-becoming involves the deeply felt realization that our thoughts, beliefs and intentions aren’t merely mental or ‘just… — Sol Luckman Copy Share Image
An entirely honest man, in the severe sense of the word, exists no more than an entirely dishonest knave: the best and… — Johann Kaspar Lavater Copy Share Image
Most 20th century academic physicists, and academia as a whole, simply did not want to touch the subject of consciousness. We have… — Edgar Mitchell Copy Share Image
A contact with an extraterrestrial civilization is the greatest challenge for mankind in the Third Millennium. We would finally realize that we… — Michael Hesemann Copy Share Image
In this communication I wish first to show in the simplest case of the hydrogen atom (nonrelativistic and undistorted) that the usual… — Erwin Schrodinger Copy Share Image
Atoms are weird stuff, behaving like active agents rather than inert substances. They make unpredictable choices between alternative possibilities according to the… — Freeman Dyson Copy Share Image
Quantum phenomena do not occur in a Hilbert space. They occur in a laboratory. — Asher Peres Copy Share Image
The main ingredient of the first quantum revolution, wave-particle duality, has led to inventions such as the transistor and the laser that… — Alain Aspect Copy Share Image
...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Quantum theory provides us with a striking illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection though we can only… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding. — Martin Fleischmann Copy Share Image
