[T]he laws of quantum mechanics itself cannot be formulated ... without recourse to the concept of consciousness. — Eugene Wigner Copy Share Image
There's a lot of things I nerd out over. Quantum Mechanics. I also love Dungeons and Dragons. I want to be an… — Analeigh Tipton 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
“In string theory, zero has been banished from the universe; there is no such thing as zero distance or zero time. This… — Charles Seife Copy Share Image
“Quantum physics teaches us that we can simultaneously exist in many places, under certain conditions.” — Amit Ray 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
You know how it always is, every new idea, it takes a generation or two until it becomes obvious that there's no… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“No phenomenon directly involving a frequency has yet been detected above approximately 10^12 cycles per second. We only deduce the higher frequencies… — Richard P. Feynman 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
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
Before the discovery of quantum mechanics, the framework of physics was this: If you tell me how things are now, I can… — Brian Greene Copy Share Image
“As Feynman once wrote, "[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it fully agrees… — Brian Greene 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

“The unsolved problems of the physical world now seem even more formidable than those solved in the twentieth century. Though in application… — Gerald Holton Copy Share Image
“Many scientists have tried to make determinism and complementarity the basis of conclusions that seem to me weak and dangerous; for instance,… — Louis de Broglie Copy Share Image
In quantum mechanics there is A causing B. The equations do not stand outside that usual paradigm of physics. The real issue… — Brian Greene 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
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
A popular feel for scientific endeavors should, if possible, be restored given the needs of the twenty-first century. This does not mean… — Walter Isaacson 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
