Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it. — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“Without the possibility of error and real indeterminacy implied by the quantum theory, human liberty is meaningless.” — Heinz R. Pagels Copy Share Image
“There were times, while Atom slept and she was awake soothing her crying daughter, that a question itched from somewhere deep within.… — Joseph A. Anderson Copy Share Image
The dividing line between the wave or particle nature of matter and radiation is the moment “Now.” As this moment steadily advances… — William Lawrence Bragg Copy Share Image
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
There certainly is a tension between the relativity of simultaneity and non-locality in quantum theory, but it's not strong enough to add… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
