The treatment of the indeterminacy principle as absolute and final can then be criticized as constituting an arbitrary restriction on scientific theories,… — David Bohm Copy Share Image
“The more we delve into quantum mechanics the stranger the world becomes; appreciating this strangeness of the world, whilst still operating in… — Kevin Michel 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
“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

How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics! — Isaac Asimov 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
Anybody who is not shocked by this subject has failed to understand it. [of quantum mechanics] — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
“When the noise died down, she could lose herself in mathematics—in attempts to combine quantum mechanics with the theory of relativity—and forget… — David Lagercrantz Copy Share Image
[T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
At the heart of quantum mechanics is a rule that sometimes governs politicians or CEOs-as long as no one is watching, anything… — 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
