...contemporary physicists come in two varieties. Type 1 physicists are bothered by EPR and Bell's Theorem. Type 2 (the majority) are not, but one has… — David Mermin
Bell's theorem...proves that quantum theory requires connections that appear to resemble telepathic communication. — Gary Zukav
...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where… — Albert Einstein
...physics is the study of the structure of consciousness. — Gary Zukav
Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature. — Immanuel Kant
But some of these theories are so bold that they can clash with reality: they are the testable theories of science. And when they clash,… — Karl Popper
Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a… — Richard P. Feynman
Is the world ruled by strict laws or not? This question I regard as metaphysical. The laws we find are always hypotheses; which means that… — Karl Popper
The discontinuous 'reduction of the wave packets' which cannot be derived from Schroedinger's equation is ... a consequence of the transition from the possible to… — Werner Heisenberg
But it is certainly not possible to insist on one hand that the formalism is complete and to insist on the other hand that its… — Karl Popper
It is not intuitive ease I am after, but rather a point of view which is sufficiently definite to clear up some difficulties, and to… — Karl Popper
Solipsism may be logically consistent with present Quantum Mechanics, Monism in the sense of Materialism is not. — Eugene Wigner
When you think about the complexity of our natural world - plants using quantum mechanics for photosynthesis, for example - a smartphone begins to look… — Jeff VanderMeer
Before the discovery of quantum mechanics, the framework of physics was this: If you tell me how things are now, I can then use the… — Brian Greene
Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for… — Brian Greene
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe the… — Brian Greene
The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration… — Paul Davies
What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning. — Werner Heisenberg
For the record: Quantum mechanics does not deny the existence of objective reality. Nor does it imply that mere thoughts can change external events. Effects… — Lawrence M. Krauss
If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia… — James Lovelock
If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the universe can be… — Murray Gell-Mann
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive. — Elon Musk
Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics,… — Neil deGrasse Tyson
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point particle… — Edward Witten
Scientists, therefore, are responsible for their research, not only intellectually but also morally. This responsibility has become an important issue in many of today's sciences,… — Fritjof Capra
