Matter Quote by Anthony James Leggett

Most people don't have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics.

— Stephen Hawking

Evolutionary theory tends to explain quite well in retrospect how various species emerged. It's not very good on prediction. Nevertheless, one cannot say that…

— Kenneth Arrow

I do theoretical particle physics. We're trying to understand the most basic structure of matter. And the way you do that is you have…

— Lisa Randall

Physics and those parts of other fields that grow out of physics - chemistry, the structure of big molecules - in those domains, there…

— Noam Chomsky

Only mathematics and mathematical logic can say as little as the physicist means to say.

— Bertrand Russell

The whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter.

— C. V. Raman

If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to…

— Johannes Stark

The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all…

— Erwin Schrodinger

By having simplified what is known, physicists have been led into realms which as yet are anything but simple. That at some time, they,…

— Edward Teller

The physics are simple in theory, but in practice they are filled with the possibility for limitless error.

— Christopher Pike

Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.

— Erwin Schrodinger

But even physics cannot be defined from an atomic topography.

— Michael Polanyi
