Physics Quotes
-
Physics is essentially an intuitive and concrete science. Mathematics is only a means for expressing the laws that govern phenomena.
-
Physics is to mathematics what sex is to masturbation.
-
It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.
-
That is simple my friend: because politics is more difficult than physics.
-
Cambridge was the place for someone from the Colonies or the Dominions to go on to, and it was to the Cavendish Laboratory that one went to do physics.
-
If all of mathematics disappeared, physics would be set back by exactly one week.
-
I'm a bit of a layman physics junkie. I don't really understand it, but I love trying to understand it.
-
If quantum theory is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.
-
Ultimately, my Ph.D. is in mathematical physics, focusing on quantum field theory and curved space-time, and I worked with Stephen Hawking.
-
The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.
-
My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane.
-
I've learnt more physics from Kabbalah than I ever did in school.
-
In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds.
-
Originally I had planned to revert to nuclear physics there, in particular the structure of the deuteron.
-
Unfortunately, a lot of economists wanted to make their subject a science. So the more what you do resembles physics or chemistry, the more credible you become.
-
We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much more valid than the derivation.
-
The laws of physics ... seem to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design... The universe must have a purpose.
-
My earlier exposure to physics certainly helped me in the use of biophysical techniques like crystallography, the use of computing, calculations, etc.
-
I come home from trying to pretend to know about astronomy and physics all day and turn on 'The Real Housewives'.
-
Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.
-
If you go into any physics lab, everybody is depressed and feels isolated. We don't get any feedback that anybody cares about what we're doing.
-
The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this.
-
It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.
-
Wheeler hopes that we can discover, within the context of physics, a principle that will enable the universe to come into existence "of its own accord." In his search for such a theory, he remarks: "No guiding principle would seem more powerful than the requirement that it should provide the universe with a way to come into being." Wheeler likened this 'self-causing' universe to a self-excited circuit in electronics.
