Laws of physics Quote by Richard P. Feynman

Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little; it is only its mathematical…

— Bertrand Russell

Traditionally, scientists have treated the laws of physics as simply 'given,' elegant mathematical relationships that were somehow imprinted on the universe at its birth,…

— Paul Davies

The mathematical facts worthy of being studied are those which, by their analogy with other facts, are capable of leading us to the knowledge…

— Henri Poincare

The physicist is like someone who's watching people playing chess and, after watching a few games, he may have worked out what the moves…

— Martin Rees

Most people don't have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics.

— Stephen Hawking

To do any important work in physics a very good mathematical ability and aptitude are required. Some work in applications can be done without…

— Richard P. Feynman

When I was a student, the laws of physics were regarded as completely off limits. The job of the scientist, we were told, is…

— Paul Davies

I think equation guessing might be the best method to proceed to obtain the laws for the part of physics which is presently unknown.…

— Richard P. Feynman

It is true that physics gives a wonderful training in precise, logical thinking-about physics. It really does depend upon accurate reproducible experiments, and upon…

— Anthony Standen

This is not what I thought physics was about when I started out: I learned that the idea is to explain nature in terms…

— Hans Christian von Baeyer

Ordinary language is totally unsuited for expressing what physics really asserts, since the words of everyday life are not sufficiently abstract. Only mathematics and…

— Bertrand Russell

... it is impossible to explain honestly the beauties of the laws of nature in a way that people can feel, without their having…
