“As mathematicians were uncovering the connection between zero and infinity, physicists began to encounter zeros in the natural world; zero crossed over… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Beyond the corridor of our space-time there are infinite numbers of universes, each of them is governed by its own set of… — Amit Ray 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
“One can still say that quantum mechanics is the key to understanding magnetism. When one enters the first room with this key… — John H. Van Vleck Copy Share Image
“Quantum fluctuations are, at their root, completely a-causal, in the sense that cause and effect and ordering of events in time is… — Sten F. Odenwald Copy Share Image
“If they were as we described them, the existence of black holes would contradict the principles of thermodynamics. One of these principles… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
“One hundred thirty-seven is the inverse of something called the fine-structure constant. ...The most remarkable thing about this remarkable number is that… — Leon M. Lederman Copy Share Image
General relativity is in the old Newtonian framework where you predict what will happen, not the probability of what will happen. And… — Brian Greene 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
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because… — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
“We have good reason to believe that space and time begin to merge into quantum mechanical uncertainty at distances this small; they… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
Bells theorem dealt a shattering blow to Einsteins position by showing that the conception of reality as consisting of separate parts, joined… — Fritjof Capra 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
It has been said that the three great develpments in twentieth century science are relativity, quantum mechanics, and chaos. That strikes me… — Robert L. Devaney Copy Share Image
Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Renormalization is just a stop-gap procedure. There must be some fundamental change in our ideas, probably a change just as fundamental as… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
“Scientists have been trying to unify Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.” — Lee Vickers 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
The underlying physical laws necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus… — Paul Dirac Copy Share Image
“I'm beginning to think that love for me is a bit like Quantum Mechanics, something I know to exist, but have no… — R. E. Wentz 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
...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance. — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“Both [Quine and Feyerabend] want to revise a version of positivism. Quine started with the Vienna Circle, and Feyerabend with the Copenhagen… — Ian Hacking Copy Share Image
