You know that, according to quantum theory, if two particles collide with enough energy you can, in principle, with an infinitesimal probability,… — Isidor Isaac Rabi Copy Share Image
Quantum theory was split up into dialects. Different people describe the same experiences in remarkably different languages. This is confusing even to… — David Finkelstein Copy Share Image
Despite the unrivaled empirical success of quantum theory, the very suggestion that it may be literally true as a description of nature… — David Deutsch Copy Share Image
We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main… — Kip Thorne Copy Share Image
“It was like bouncing tennis balls off a mystery piece of furniture and deducing, from the direction in which the balls ricocheted,… — Marcus Chown Copy Share Image
Scientific realism in classical (i.e. pre-quantum) physics has remained compatible with the naive realism of everyday thinking on the whole; whereas it… — Ravi Gomatam Copy Share Image
The great revelation of the quantum theory was that features of discreteness were discovered in the Book of Nature, in a context… — Erwin Schrodinger Copy Share Image
“Quantum theory can be described as a new kind of language to be used in a dialogue between us and the systems… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“In life, like in the quantum realm, the hidden cost of doing nothing ends the moment you do something. Anything. However small.… — Ludmila Morozova-Buss Copy Share Image
While the finish given to our picture of the world by the theory of relativity has already been absorbed into the general… — Niels Bohr Copy Share Image
By 2100, our destiny is to become like the gods we once worshipped and feared. But our tools will not be magic… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
I cannot seriously believe in it [quantum theory] because the theory cannot be reconciled with the idea that physics should represent a… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
It is a remarkable fact that the second law of thermodynamics has played in the history of science a fundamental role far… — Ilya Prigogine Copy Share Image
It is true that in quantum theory we cannot rely on strict causality. But by repeating the experiments many times, we can… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“Quite obviously, a theoretical determination of the numerical value of α would signify great progress in our understanding of fundamental interactions. Many… — Harald Fritzsch Copy Share Image
“One can take the colour-electric field as the fundamental entity, and then try to understand the picture of a string stretched between… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“So, in the end, the most improbable and hence the most puzzling aspect of space is its very existence. The simple fact… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
A successful unification of quantum theory and relativity would necessarily be a theory of the universe as a whole. It would tell… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
