There are many things that we still don't understand about the universe, right? Einstein struggled to bring quantum mechanics and gravity together… — Edward Boyden 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
Einstein comes along and says, space and time can warp and curve, that's what gravity is. Now string theory comes along and… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
But some of these theories are so bold that they can clash with reality: they are the testable theories of science. And… — Karl Popper 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
“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

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 laws of quantum mechanics don't permit the removal of arbitrary amounts of energy from a system consisting of two mutually attractive… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
From the point of view of logic, my report on 'Exclusion principle and quantum mechanics' has no conclusion. I believe that it… — Wolfgang Pauli Copy Share Image
“in experimental quantum mechanics we have run right up against what was previously perceived to be a purely philosophical barrier. The experiments… — Jim Baggott Copy Share Image
It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Certainly we do not need quantum mechanics for macroscopic objects, which are well described by classical physics - this is the reason… — Alain Aspect Copy Share Image
I've been very involved in this quantum holographic formalism and helping to explore it as explanatory of the very root of our… — Edgar Mitchell Copy Share Image
The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It… — Paul Davies Copy Share Image
If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to… — James Lovelock Copy Share Image
The movement of a single atom from one known position to another known position changes an experience from nothing to overwhelming. This… — Terence McKenna Copy Share Image
“The Many-Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics posits that all possible realities exist. That everything which has a probability of happening is happening.… — Blake Crouch Copy Share Image
“It’s sometimes said that the greatest remaining scientific questions are: What caused the Big Bang? What is the grand unified theory that… — Rick Hanson Copy Share Image
Because of recent improvements in the accuracy of theoretical predictions based on large scale ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, meaningful comparisons between… — Yuan T. Lee 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
I find enough mystery in mathematics to satisfy my spiritual needs. I think, for example, that pi is mysterious enough (don't get… — Tom Lehrer Copy Share Image
No. I had successfully solved the difficulty of finding a description of the electron which was consistent with both relativity and quantum… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics. — Albert Szent-Gyorgyi Copy Share Image
“A mathematician is an individual who proves his beliefs with equations.” — Bill Gaede Copy Share Image
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Quantum mechanics has to be expanded, to allow for many different descriptions, depending on who the observer is.” — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“There was a young lady named Bright, Whose speed was far faster than light; She started one day In a relative way,… — Arthur Henry Reginald Buller Copy Share Image
If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic. — Moby Copy Share Image
It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness. — Eugene Wigner Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
[T]he laws of quantum mechanics itself cannot be formulated ... without recourse to the concept of consciousness. — Eugene Wigner Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics as it stands would be perfect if we didn’t have the quantum-gravity issue and a few other very deep fundamental… — Gerard 't Hooft Copy Share Image
![“It was about three o'clock at night when the final result of the calculation [which gave birth to quantum mechanics] lay before me ... At first I was deeply shaken ... I was so excited that I could not think of sleep.
