Atoms Quote by Erwin Schrodinger

“As mentioned before, quantum mechanics guarantees that any physical system with finite energy confined to a finite volume of space has a finite number…

All results of the profoundest mathematical investigation must ultimately be expressible in the simple form of properties of the integers.

— Leopold Kronecker

“Thus we see that the quantisation of atomic energies into a ladder of seperate values, rather than allowing them to take on the entire…

— John D. Barrow

“The German physicist Max Planck, after whom these unimaginably small quantities are named, introduced the idea of quantized energy in 1900 and is generally…

— Neil deGrasse Tyson

“One hundred thirty-seven is the inverse of something called the fine-structure constant. ...The most remarkable thing about this remarkable number is that it is…

— Leon M. Lederman

“But this quantum only takes on its full significance when we try to define it with regard to a concrete natural movement — that…

— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

The development of mathematics toward greater precision has led, as is well known, to the formalization of large tracts of it, so that one…

— Kurt Gödel

“Every problem in quantum physics had to be first “solved” using classical physics, and then be reworked by the judicious insertion of quantum numbers…

— John Gribbin

For mathematics, even to the logical forms in which it moves, is entirely dependent on the concept of natural number.

— Hermann Weyl

The great revelation of the quantum theory was that features of discreteness were discovered in the Book of Nature, in a context in which…

— Erwin Schrodinger

It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead it seems…

— Werner Heisenberg

From a theoretical point of view, it is very hard to imagine how gravity could avoid being quantized.

— Alan Guth
