According to quantum mechanics there is no such thing as objectivity. We cannot eliminate ourselves from the picture. We are part of… — Gary Zukav Copy Share Image
“Quantum mechanics has a similar problem, a problem related to the zero-point energy. The laws of quantum mechanics treat particles such as… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
“Heisenberg's uncertainty relation measures the amount by which the complementary descriptions of the electron, or other fundamental entities, overlap. Position is very… — John Gribbin Copy Share Image
“In the world described by quantum mechanics there is no reality except in the relations between physical systems. It isn’t things that… — Carlo Rovelli Copy Share Image
“At a workshop attended by expert researchers in quantum mechanichs in 1997, Max Tegmark took an admittedly highly unscienfific poll of the… — Sean Carroll Copy Share Image

The quantum entered physics with a jolt. It didn't fit anywhere; it made no sense; it contradicted everything we thought we knew… — David C. Cassidy Copy Share Image
“We are not talking about waves or particles, what we are talking about is a quantum of action in a field. This… — Rick Delmonico Copy Share Image
As an adult I discovered that I was a pretty good autodidact, and can teach myself all kind of things. And developed… — Dean Koontz Copy Share Image
“Weierstrass, Cantor, or Peano! In physics, an analogous development threatened since about 1800, since Laplace’s Celestial Mechanics avoided all illustration. And it… — Benoît B. Mandelbrot Copy Share Image
“A new concept of god: “something not very different from the sum total of the physical laws of the universe; that is,… — Carl Sagan Copy Share Image
“Please don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re so weird,” she says. I look at her, or at least her chin,… — Julie Buxbaum Copy Share Image
“Quantum theory, in turn, has its own trouble with infinities. They appear whenever you attempt to use quantum mechanics to describe fields,… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“The field of the electron is real because it results from the laws of quantum mechanics and appropriate initial conditions. The laws… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“It has been said that, in scale, a human being is about halfway between an atom and a star. Interestingly, this is… — Brian May Copy Share Image
“Positional, or potential energy, is the energy we add to a rock when we lift it from the floor and put it… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“Quantum mechanics. What a repository, a dump, of human aspiration it was, the borderland where mathematical rigor defeated common sense, and reason… — Ian McEwan Copy Share Image
“I spoke of the 'real' mathematics of Fermat and other great mathematicians, the mathematics which has permanent aesthetic value, as for example… — G.H. Hardy Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
There was quantum mechanics, string theory, and then there was the most mind-bending frontier of the natural world, women. — Marisha Pessl Copy Share Image
Niels Bohr brainwashed a whole generation of theorists into thinking that the job (interpreting quantum theory) was done 50 years ago. — Murray Gell-Mann Copy Share Image
If everything is made up of little particles and all the little particles follow quantum mechanics, then shouldn't everything just follow quantum… — Aaron D. O'Connell Copy Share Image
“The Quantum Mechanic will fix your car, but it won’t work unless you observe him fixing it” — Dean Cavanagh Copy Share Image
The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the… — Alain Aspect Copy Share Image
In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of… — Richard K. Morgan Copy Share Image
Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
Nothing can create something all the time due to the laws of quantum mechanics, and it's - it's fascinatingly interesting. — Lawrence M. Krauss Copy Share Image
“Individual events. Events beyond law. Events so numerous and so uncoordinated that, flaunting their freedom from formula, they yet fabricate firm form.” — John Archibald Wheeler Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics provides us with an approximate, plausible, conjectural explanation of what actually is, or was, or may be taking place inside… — Edward Abbey Copy Share Image
![“[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment.
