“Theorists of journalism have long noted parallels to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle in physics: by reporting on something, one subtly but irrevocably changes… — Ben Yagoda Copy Share Image
In effect, we have redefined the task of science to be the discovery of laws that will enable us to predict events… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
“Any universe simple enough to be understood is too simple to produce a mind able to understand it -Barrow's Uncertainty Principle” — John D. Barrow Copy Share Image
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. — Edward Witten Copy Share Image
Over a very small number of rolls of the dice, the uncertainty principle is very important. — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Thus, the more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known, and conversely. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
The uncertainty principle refers to the degree of indeterminateness in the possible present knowledge of the simultaneous values of various quantities with… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“The uncertainty principle “protects” quantum mechanics. Heisenberg recognized that if it were possible to measure the momentum and the position simultaneously with… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Old Newtonian physics claimed that things have an objective reality separate from our perception of them. Quantum physics, and particularly Heisenberg's Uncertainty… — Marianne Williamson Copy Share Image
“Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that to determine the precise location of a particle will only speed up the particle. The same goes… — Weike Wang Copy Share Image
One may say that predictions are dangerous particularly for the future. If the danger involved in a prediction is not incurred, no… — Edward Teller 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
In the strict formulation of the law of causality—if we know the present, we can calculate the future—it is not the conclusion… — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
“If we can somehow control the probability of certain improbable events, then anything, including faster-than-light travel, and even time travel, is possible.… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“Many scientists have tried to make determinism and complementarity the basis of conclusions that seem to me weak and dangerous; for instance,… — Louis de Broglie Copy Share Image
“The uncertainty principle signaled an end to Laplace's dream of a theory of science, a model of the universe that would be… — Stephen Hawking Copy Share Image
Physicists often quote from T. H. White's epic novel The Once and Future King, where a society of ants declares, "Everything not… — Michio Kaku Copy Share Image
“Second, we resist love because it jams the rational mindset. The mortal mind cannot understand how miracles work, and for our entire… — Marianne Williamson Copy Share Image
“Many of the important principles in twentieth century physics are expressed as limitations on what we can know. Einstein's principle of relativity… — Lee Smolin Copy Share Image
“Even if it were possible to cast my horoscope in this one life, and to make an accurate prediction about my future,… — Christopher Hitchens Copy Share Image
“In the intricate and mutable space-time geometry at the black hole, in-falling matter and energy interacted with the virtualities of the vacuum… — Poul Anderson Copy Share Image
