Quantum mechanics Quote by Henning Genz

“Quantum mechanics has a similar problem, a problem related to the zero-point energy. The laws of quantum mechanics treat particles such as the electron…

— Charles Seife

“It is still a fairly astounding notion to consider that atoms are mostly empty space, and that the solidity we experience all around us…

— Bill Bryson

“I want to build a billion tiny factories, models of each other, which are manufacturing simultaneously… The principles of physics, as far as I…

— Richard P. Feynman

We could present spatially an atomic fact which contradicted the laws of physics, but not one which contradicted the laws of geometry.

— Ludwig Wittgenstein

“People want electrons to orbit atoms like tiny planets, hard and regular. They make sense that way. People like that…they don't want their electrons…

— Adam Felber

“Positional, or potential energy, is the energy we add to a rock when we lift it from the floor and put it on a…

Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense.

— Roger Penrose

Energy, of course, follows a basic principle... It cannot be destroyed, and can only be transformed

— Lynne

Energy cannot be destroyed. It just takes on different forms.

— Yasmin Ahmad

You know that, according to quantum theory, if two particles collide with enough energy you can, in principle, with an infinitesimal probability, produce two…

— Isidor Isaac Rabi

“First, some physicists insist that quantum mechanics cannot be formulated without taking into account the minds of observers. They argue that minds cannot be…

— Rupert Sheldrake

Quantum mechanics is just completely strange and counterintuitive. We can't believe that things can be here [in one place] and there [in another place]…
