Peace through strength. Neutrinos through solid matter.

— John Alejandro King Aka The Covert Comic

“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

Physicists are interested in measuring neutrino properties because they tell us about the structure of the Standard Model, the well-tested theory that describes matter's…

“the Z-particle Pure energy—no mass at all. It may well be the smallest building block in nature. Matter is nothing but trapped energy.”

— Dan Brown

I'm a fan of supersymmetry, largely because it seems to be the only route by which gravity can be brought into the scheme. It's…

— Peter Higgs

There are considerable mysteries surrounding the strange values that Nature's actual particles have for their mass and charge. For example, there is the unexplained…

— Roger Penrose

Theoretical and experimental physicists are now studying nothing at all-the vacuum. But that nothingness contains all of being.

— Heinz Pagels

But that was the thing about zero. Its weakness. Even if zero had taken over the entire universe, the biggest fascist of all, one…
