I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum… — Frank Tipler 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
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for, he himself knows best, and feels… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image

“According to string theory in quantum mechanics the core of energy and matter on a subatomic level is a vibrating, string-like filament… — Russell Anthony Gibbs Copy Share Image
It is difficult for me to believe that quantum mechanics, working very well for currently practical set-ups, will nevertheless fail badly with… — Anonymous 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
Biology seems to be a chemical strategy for amplifying quantum mechanical indeterminacy so that it leaves the subatomic realm and can be… — Terence McKenna Copy Share Image
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
“The nature of the 'collapse of the wave function' is determined by our self-concept stored in the subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind… — Kevin Michel Copy Share Image
“Thus it was that Einstein ended up deciding that quantum mechanics, though it may not be wrong, was at least incomplete. There… — Walter Isaacson Copy Share Image
The most important single thing about string theory is that it's a highly mathematical theory, and the mathematics holds together in a… — Leonard Susskind Copy Share Image
“But our relationship to these infinite pasts and futures isn’t random—plausibility throws its weight around, per some freaky quantum mechanics stuff that… — Neal Stephenson Copy Share Image
There's no verbs before time itself exists, right? There's no popping into existence, there's no fluctuating, there's no quantum mechanical craziness, there… — Sean M. Carroll Copy Share Image
No one intuitively understands quantum mechanics because all of our experience involves a world of classical phenomena where, for example, a baseball… — Lawrence M. Krauss Copy Share Image
But, as we have seen, movement does not require a mover, and modern quantum mechanics has shown that not all effects require… — Victor J. Stenger Copy Share Image
When the province of physical theory was extended to encompass microscopic phenomena through the creation of quantum mechanics, the concept of consciousness… — Eugene Wigner 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
When you do calculations using quantum mechanics, even when you are calculating something perfectly sensible like the energy of an atomic state,… — Steven Weinberg 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
Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“The mind reels when we realize that, according to this interpretation of quantum mechanics, all possible worlds coexist with us. Although wormholes… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
If I realize that actually there's quantum mechanics happening around us all the time in some macroscopic, interconnected way, then that doesn't… — Aaron D. O'Connell Copy Share Image
I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac, among "real" mathematicians. The great modern achievements of applied mathematics have been in relativity… — G. H. Hardy Copy Share Image
A further aspect I should like to discuss is what I call the practice of infinite escape clauses. I believe we developed… — Sidney W. Fox Copy Share Image
“Where misunderstanding dwells, misuse will not be far behind. No theory in the history of science has been more misused and abused… — Sean Carroll Copy Share Image
Can quantum mechanics represent the fact that an electron finds itself approximately in a given place and that it moves approximately with… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
The more you study quantum mechanics, the more crazy and incomprehensible it becomes. You truly do need a Ph.D. in very high… — Blake Crouch Copy Share Image
