Physics Quotes
Mathematicians grow very old; it is a healthy profession. The reason you live long is that you have pleasant thoughts. Math and physics are very pleasant things to do.
This is absolutely correct and forms part of the larger concept that top-down causation is a key factor not just in the way the brain works but in broader contexts in biology and even physics.
... The approach of von Neumann and Connes to the use of non-commutative algebra in physics is naive, the situation is much more complicated.
Well, I was always... I used to get 100% in physics and chemistry and mathematics (well, maybe a couple of points off in mathematics), and that was in high school.
You can't publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism.
Louis Armstrong is quite simply the most important person in American music. He is to 20th century music (I did not say jazz) what Einstein is to physics.
The physics of motion provides one of the clearest examples of the counter-intuitive and unexpected nature of science.
We could present spatially an atomic fact which contradicted the laws of physics, but not one which contradicted the laws of geometry.
No one knows who wrote the laws of physics or where they come from. Science is based on testable, reproducible evidence, and so far we cannot test the universe before the Big Bang.
The next grand extensions of mathematical physics will, in all likelihood, be furnished by quaternions.
I was very good in math and physics. In the Soviet time, we had a lot of Olympic-style competitions for different disciplines: I was always winning in my region.
Physics has found no straight lines. Instead, the physical universe consists of only waves undulating back and forth allowing for corrections and balance.
All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it.
I think nerdy stuff is sexy. I like to watch the History Channel and learn about the universe, quantum physics and stuff like that.
The world of conceptualized ideas is quite wonderful, even when it's - like Aristotle's Physics - an outmoded book. The physics is not true. But the reasoning is dazzling.
...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance.
I don't know what laws of physics are involved, but if you fill a gym with teenagersand tell them to stare at one object, heat is actually produced. I half expected tospontaneously combust.Katrina
The smallest thought could not exist unless the entire universe and the laws of physics were in some way encouraging it.
Students judge how well they might do in a chemistry course from knowing how peers, who performed comparably to them in physics, fared in chemistry
Physics is an attempt conceptually to grasp reality as something that is considered to be independent of its being observed. In this sense one speaks of physical reality.
Everything that can happen, does. That's quantum mechanics. But this does not mean everything happens. The rest of physics is about describing what can happen and what can't.
There are great science books that were conceived as books. Feynman's famous introductory lectures in physics, which have a beginning and an end, which are written with style.
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
The idea that you know more than the intelligence community knows, it's a little like saying, I know more about physics than my professor.
My father was on the faculty in the Chemistry Department of Harvard University; my mother had one year of graduate work in physics before her marriage.
Physics is about questioning, studying, probing nature. You probe, and, if youre lucky, you get strange clues.
...this marvelous graceful thing, this joy of physics, this perfect balance between rebellion and obedience, is God's own signature on earth.
It's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics. It's the things that nobody knows anything about we can discuss.
Extinction catches Man by surprise because no one can even imagine that such a catastrophe can happen to an intelligent species.
If you can't illustrate 'it', 'it' doens't belong in Physics as a noun! You can't put an article in front. You can't put a verb after!
A mathematician is an individual who believes that prophesying that his dog will die if he deprives it of food constitutes a prediction.
All creation necessarily ends in this: Creators, powerless, fleeing from the things they have wrought.
Science is not about making predictions or performing experiments. Science is about explaining.
Many physicists these days sound like the Delphic oracle - with equations.
A mathematician is an individual who calls himself a 'physicist' and does 'physics' and physical experiments with abstract concepts.
