The more comprehensible the universe becomes the more pointless it seems. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
It is even harder to realize that this present universe has evolved from an unspeakably unfamiliar early condition, and faces a future extinction of… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
It is futile to try to make the universe add up. But I guess we must go on anyhow. — Philip K. Dick Copy Share Image
The only thing that makes sense is if the universe is beautiful and simple and elegant. — Antony Garrett Lisi Copy Share Image
I'm glad the universe is pointless. It means if I get to the end of my life, the universe can't turn to me and… — Robin Ince Copy Share Image
But every day I go to work I'm making a bet that the universe is simple, symmetric, and aesthetically pleasing—a universe that we humans,… — George Smoot Copy Share Image
“Is it not reasonable to suspect that if existence were pointless and the universe devoid of meaning, we would never have achieved not only… — Leszek Kołakowski Copy Share Image
The cosmos is interesting rather than perfect, and everything is not part of some greater plan, nor is all necessarily under control — Starhawk Copy Share Image
“The apparent strengths of the forces in any field theory depend on two kinds of numerical parameter: the masses (if any) of the particles like W and Z particles that transmit the forces, and certain intrinsic strengths (also known as coupling constants) that characterize the likelihood for particles like photons or gluons or W and Z particles to be emitted… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share
“Many people do simply awful things out of sincere religious belief, not using religion as a cover the way that Saddam Hussein may have done, but really because they believe that this is what God wants them to do, going all the way back to Abraham being willing to sacrifice Issac because God told him to do that. Putting God… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share
This is often the way it is in physics - our mistake is not that we take our theories too seriously, but that we do not take them seriously enough. It is always hard to realize that these numbers and equations we play with at our desks have something to do with the real world. Even worse, there often seems… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
I would say it's a lot easier to develop a decoy system than to develop the intercontinental ballistic missile itself. I would think that… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Rational argument can be defeated by refusing to argue rationally. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
The universe is an enormous direct product of representations of symmetry groups. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
Its a consequence of the experience of science. As you learn more and more about the universe, you find you can understand more and more without any reference to supernatural intervention, so you lose interest in that possibility. Most scientists I know dont care enough about religion even to call themselves atheists. And that, I think, is one of the… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share
Our job in physics is to see things simply, to understand a great many complicated phenomena in a unified way, in terms of a… — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“Plato and the neo-Platonists taught that the beauty we see in nature is a reflection of the beauty of the ultimate, the nous. For us, too, the beauty of present theories is an anticipation, a premonition, of the beauty of the final theory. And in any case, we would not accept any theory as final unless it were beautiful.” — Steven Weinberg Copy Share
An expert is a person who avoids the small errors while sweeping on to the grand fallacy. — Steven Weinberg Copy Share Image
“The universe is not punishing you or blessing you. The universe is simply responding to the vibrational attitude that you are emitting.” — Abraham Hicks Copy Share Image
Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share Image
“The generalized theory of relativity has furnished still more remarkable results. This considers not only uniform but also accelerated motion. In particular, it is based on the impossibility of distinguishing an acceleration from the gravitation or other force which produces it. Three consequences of the theory may be mentioned of which two have been confirmed while the third is still… — A.A. Michelson Copy Share
The prediction of nuclear winter is drawn not, of course, from any direct experience with the consequences of global nuclear war, but rather from… — Carl Sagan Copy Share Image
. . . to know the order of nature, and regard the universe as orderly is the highest function of the mind. — Baruch Spinoza Copy Share Image
A monkey is unaware that atoms exist. Likewise, our brainpower may not stretch to the deepest aspects of reality. The bedrock nature of space… — Martin Rees Copy Share Image
Worship isn't destructive, Martin. I know that. I don't. I only know it's the core of his life. What else has he got? He can hardly read. He knows no physics or engineering to make to world real for him. No paintings to show him how others have enjoyed it. No music except television jingles. No history except tales from… — Peter Shaffer Copy Share
“the new theory of matter has entirely over thrown the old conception of the unchanging atoms, and they are now regarded to be composed… — Kaiten Nukariya Copy Share Image
In this other dimension I feel tension surrounding my every move. You and I are together at last. We are captive in our own… — London Elektricity Copy Share Image
The laws of thermodynamics, as empirically determined, express the approximate and probable behavior of systems of a great number of particles, or, more precisely, they express the laws of mechanics for such systems as they appear to beings who have not the fineness of perception to enable them to appreciate quantities of the order of magnitude of those which relate… — J. Willard Gibbs Copy Share
Geometry, which should only obey Physics, when united with it sometimes commands it. If it happens that the question which we wish to examine is too complicated for all the elements to be able to enter into the analytical comparison we wish to make, we separate the more inconvenient [elements], we substitute others for them, less troublesome but also less… — Jean le Rond d'Alembert Copy Share
