“After receiving the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918, Max Planck went on tour across Germany. Wherever he was invited, he delivered… — Rolf Dobelli Copy Share Image
In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not… — David Bohm Copy Share Image
“Apparently, when people travel between dimensions, their physical forms are "no longer observable," which is a quantum mechanics thing, and explaining it… — Claudia Gray Copy Share Image
If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the… — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
Scientists, therefore, are responsible for their research, not only intellectually but also morally. This responsibility has become an important issue in many… — Fritjof Capra Copy Share Image
String theory?[pause] It closed the conceptual gulp between relativity and quantum mechanics. It postulates that subatomic particles are not points, but strings,… — Willie Garson Copy Share Image
Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Indeterminism does not confer freedom on us: I would feel that my freedom was impaired if I thought that a quantum mechanical… — J. J. C. Smart Copy Share Image
A further aspect I should like to discuss is what I call the practice of infinite escape clauses. I believe we developed… — Sidney W. Fox Copy Share Image
“I remember discussions with Bohr which went through many hours till very late at night and ended almost in despair; and when… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“The deep significance of this discovery appears to be that we have found a physical situation where two different natural principles, of… — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective… — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
A. Douglas Stone, a physicist who has spent his life using quantum mechanics to explore striking new phenomena, has turned his considerable… — Peter Galison Copy Share Image
[The Many-worlds interpretation is the] only completely coherent approach to explaining both the contents of quantum mechanics and the appearance of the… — Hugh Everett III Copy Share Image
For the record: Quantum mechanics does not deny the existence of objective reality. Nor does it imply that mere thoughts can change… — Lawrence M. Krauss Copy Share Image
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics. — Erwin Schrodinger Copy Share Image
Is the world ruled by strict laws or not? This question I regard as metaphysical. The laws we find are always hypotheses;… — Karl Popper Copy Share Image
One of the most exciting things about dark energy is that it seems to live at the very nexus of two of… — Adam Riess Copy Share Image
While many questions about quantum mechanics are still not fully resolved, there is no point in introducing needless mystification where in fact… — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. The theory says… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
“Thus it was that Einstein ended up deciding that quantum mechanics, though it may not be wrong, was at least incomplete. There… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
'Participant' is the incontrovertible new concept given by quantum mechanics. It strikes down the 'observer' of classical theory, the man who stands… — John Archibald Wheeler Copy Share Image
Just because quantum mechanics is weird does not mean that everything that is weird is quantum mechanics. — Victor J. Stenger Copy Share Image
The difference between science and religion is that the former wishes to get rid of mysteries whereas the latter worships them. — Sidney Hook Copy Share Image
According to inflation, the more than 100 billion galaxies, sparkling throughout space like heavenly diamonds, are nothing but quantum mechanics writ large… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
