Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.

— Richard P. Feynman

The physics of motion provides one of the clearest examples of the counter-intuitive and unexpected nature of science.

— Lewis Wolpert

I should consider that I know nothing about physics if I were able to explain only how things might be, and were unable to…

— Rene Descartes

Quantum mechanics is so counter-intuitive, physicists have never been able to come up with a comfortable picture of how it works.

— Taner Edis

A consistent pursuit of classical physics forces a transformation in the very heart of that physics.

— Werner Heisenberg
