Quantum physics forms the foundation of chemistry, explaining how molecules are held together. It describes how real solids and materials behave and how electricity is… — Neil Turok
I like writing about what to me are like questions that I have about myself and the human condition. I find quantum physics fascinating, so… — Kirsten Vangsness
I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie. — Talulah Riley
Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic. — Brian Greene
I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics. — Brian Greene
There are a lot of mysteries about quantum mechanics, but they mostly arise in very detailed measurements in controlled settings. — Lisa Randall
We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe. — Stephen Hawking
The Planck satellite may detect the imprint of the gravitational waves predicted by inflation. This would be quantum gravity written across the sky. — Stephen Hawking
Thinking about quantum physics is like unraveling your brain and putting it back together again upside down. Much like studying Kabbalah. — Rebecca Pidgeon
The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the world. — Alain Aspect
The main ingredient of the first quantum revolution, wave-particle duality, has led to inventions such as the transistor and the laser that are at the… — Alain Aspect
It is astonishing that human brains, which evolved to cope with the everyday world, have been able to grasp the counterintuitive mysteries of the cosmos… — Martin Rees
Indeed, our everyday world presents intellectual challenges just as daunting as those of the cosmos and the quantum, and that is where 99 per cent… — Martin Rees
The real problem with natural selection is that it makes no intuitive sense. It is like quantum physics; we may intellectually grasp it, but it… — Paul Bloom
Liquid helium belongs to a class of fluids known as quantum fluids, as distinct from classical fluids. — David Lee
We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes the uncertainties in… — Kip Thorne
Whether you can go back in time is held in the grip of the law of quantum gravity. — Kip Thorne
The process of radiation may be, and is, continuous - at any rate within limits extending to far smaller quantities than the quantum. — Charles Glover Barkla
The life force knows exactly what it takes to keep any particular living organism - any organism - alive. Anything in manifestation, for that matter.… — Lindsay Wagner
I take the view that we all have permission to be a little baffled by quantum information science and algorithmic information theory. — James Gleick
