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
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

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
