Physics Quotes
-
The question not many ask is: why are the laws of physics like they are?
Paul Davies -
In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be "known" with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities.
Richard Feynman
-
As you know, a theory in physics is not useful unless it is able to predict underlined effects which we would otherwise expect.
Richard Feynman -
Physics is experience, arranged in economical order.
Ernst Mach -
Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or seven different theoretical representations for exactly the same physics.
Richard Feynman -
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard Feynman -
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard Feynman -
Yes, I was really good in physics and in math.
Eva Herzigova
-
I am a successful lecturer in physics for popular audiences. The real entertainment gimmick is the excitement, drama and mystery of the subject matter. People love to learn something, they are 'entertained' enormously by being allowed to understand a little bit of something they never understood before. One must have faith in the subject and in people's interest in it.
Richard Feynman -
It is important to realize that in physics today, we have no knowledge of what energy is
Richard Feynman -
Computer science is not as old as physics; it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that there is significantly less on the computer scientist's plate than on the physicist's: younger it may be, but it has had a far more intense upbringing!
Richard Feynman -
All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it.
Richard Feynman -
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing!
Richard Feynman -
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules.
Richard Feynman
-
I think that physics is the most important-indeed the only-means we have of finding out the origins and fundamentals of our universe, and this is what interests me most about it. I believe that as science advances religion necessarily recedes, and this is a process I wish to encourage, because I consider that, on the whole, the influence of religion is malign.
William B. Bonnor -
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.
Richard Feynman -
We have to create miracles. A miracle is not the intersession of an external divine agency in violation of the laws of physics. A miracle is simply something that is impossible from an old story but possible from within a new one. It is an expansion of what is possible.
Charles Eisenstein
