Bending Quote by Marisha Pessl

Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition.

— David Gross

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 data emerging from the quantum physics field suggests some vital, not-yet-understood verity about how the mind interplays with the surrounding world.”

— Mitch Horowitz

“From the age of 13, I was attracted to physics and mathematics. My interest in these subjects derived mostly from popular science books that…

— David Gross

I liked quantum mechanics very much. The subject was hard to understand but easy to apply to a large number of interesting problems.

— Willis Lamb

I had the idea that it would be wonderful to be a physicist or a mathematician maybe 500 years ago around the time of…

— David Chalmers

Quantum physics is no longer an abstract theory for specialists. We must now absolutely include it in our education and also in our culture.

— Claude Cohen-Tannoudji

There's something uniquely interesting about Buddhism and mathematics, particularly about quantum physics, and where they meet. That has fascinated us for a long time.

— Andy Wachowski

Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in describing nature…

— Edward Witten

“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

“At that moment it would have been easier for me to spontaneously grasp quantum string theory”

— Augusten Burroughs

There was a time when the newspapers said that only twelve men understood the theory of relativity. I do not believe there ever was…
