Electrons Quote by Richard P. Feynman Download Open image “The electron is a theory. But the theory is so good we can almost consider them real.” — Richard P. Feynman ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2.1 out of 5 (3 ratings) Copy quoteShare Electrons Real Theory
The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“The field of the electron is real because it results from the laws of quantum mechanics and appropriate initial conditions. The laws determine the… — Henning Genz Copy Share Image
Unlike mathematical theorems, scientific results can't be proved. They can only be tested again and again, until only a fool would not believe them.… — Seth Lloyd Copy Share Image
Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. That is that entire universe is made of matter, obviously. And matter is made of particles. It's made of electrons and neutrons and protons. So the entire universe is made out of particles. Now what are the particles made out of They're not made out of anything. The only… — Martin Gardner Copy Share
There was a time when we wanted to be told what an electron is. The question was never answered. No familiar conceptions can be… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share Image
All theories are legitimate, no matter. What matters is what you do with them. — Jorge Luis Borges Copy Share Image
The electron can no longer be conceived as a single, small granule of electricity; it must be associated with a wave, and this wave… — Louis de Broglie Copy Share Image
Relativity. Gravity. Quantum. Electrodynamics. Evolution. Each of these theories is true, whether or not you believe in them. — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
I'm not sure what theory is, unless it's the pursuit of fundamental questions. — David Antin Copy Share Image
“Philosophers have said before that one of the fundamental requisites of science is that whenever you set up the same conditions, the same thing… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
My rule is, when you are unhappy, think about it. But when you're happy, don't. Why spoil it? You're probably happy for some ridiculous… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Trying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability. It involves subtle trickery, beautiful tightropes of logic… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It is necessary for the very existence of science that minds exist which do not allow that nature must satisfy some preconceived conditions. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“There was a Princess Somebody of Denmark sitting at a table with a number of people around her, and I saw an empty chair… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,'--which is just another way of saying that you can't. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“There's a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
One cannot understand... the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other way to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Yes, Jenna, I love you with all my heart. And with my atoms and molecules and electrons and whatever further breakdown you require. — Sharon Shinn Copy Share Image
Can a physicist visualize an electron? The electron is materially inconceivable and yet, it is so perfectly known through its effects that we use… — Wernher von Braun Copy Share Image
My wife and I have long discussions about [George] Carlin, and we refuse to accept that he died an atheist. It's just, confounding. When… — Jay Mohr Copy Share Image
Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. That is that entire universe is made of matter, obviously. And matter is… — Martin Gardner Copy Share Image
It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and… — Kristian Birkeland Copy Share Image
Whether we electrons, light quanta, benzol molecules, or stones, we shall always come up against these two characteristics, the corpuscular and the undular. — Werner Heisenberg Copy Share Image
Not sense data or atoms or electrons or packets of energy, but purposes, interests, and meanings, constitute the underlying facts of human experience. — Lewis Mumford Copy Share Image
I always imagined myself somehow as an electron around some atom, and you're just, like, bouncing around and spinning. There was a never-ending supply… — Tom Freston Copy Share Image
Digital wisdom is made of recycled electrons that are meaningful until you pull the plug. — Don Rittner Copy Share Image
The rigid electron is in my view a monster in relation to Maxwell's equations, whose innermost harmony is the principle of relativity... the rigid… — Hermann Minkowski Copy Share Image
