-
Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.
-- A. N. Wilson -
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.
-- Aaron Klug -
The terrifying physics of going up-mast in heavy seas are inescapable.
-- Abby Sunderland -
Ive always really been into science, and in the last five years Ive gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.
-- Adam Pascal -
Certainly we do not need quantum mechanics for macroscopic objects, which are well described by classical physics - this is the reason why quantum mechanics seems so foreign to our everyday existence.
-- Alain Aspect -
Physics is essentially an intuitive and concrete science. Mathematics is only a means for expressing the laws that govern phenomena.
-- Albert Einstein -
Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.
-- Albert Einstein -
Politics is far more complicated than physics.
-- Albert Einstein -
The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science.
-- Alton Brown -
Well, I'm leaning probably toward the sciences like physics.
-- Amy Carter -
There are very few things that can be proved rigorously in condensed matter physics.
-- Anthony James Leggett -
Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.
-- Antony Garrett Lisi -
Teaching physics at the University, and more general lecturing to wider audiences has been a major concern.
-- Antony Hewish -
Physics is a hobby of mine, as much as a person of limited intelligence can understand physics.
-- Arthur D. Levinson -
So far as physics is concerned, time's arrow is a property of entropy alone.
-- Arthur Eddington -
It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
-- Arthur Eddington -
In the most modern theories of physics probability seems to have replaced aether as "the nominative of the verb 'to undulate'."
-- Arthur Eddington -
To the pure geometer the radius of curvature is an incidental characteristic - like the grin of the Cheshire cat. To the physicist it is an indispensable characteristic. It would be going too far to say that to the physicist the cat is merely incidental to the grin. Physics is concerned with interrelatedness such as the interrelatedness of cats and grins. In this case the "cat without a grin" and the "grin without a cat" are equally set aside as purely mathematical phantasies.
-- Arthur Eddington -
In Einstein's theory of relativity the observer is a man who sets out in quest of truth armed with a measuring-rod. In quantum theory he sets out with a sieve.
-- Arthur Eddington -
There's no evidence whatsoever that Darwin had anything useful to say or anything to say period about how life began or how the universe began or how gravity began or how physics began or fluid motion or how thermodynamics began. He had nothing to say about that whatsoever.
-- Ben Stein -
Physics is really nothing more than a search for ultimate simplicity, but so far all we have is a kind of elegant messiness.
-- Bill Bryson -
Whenever I want to represent or depict the official version, I will refer to them as 'mathematicians' or 'mathematical physicists' or idiots or something like that. There are no physicists in mainstream 'Physics.' From Newton to Einstein to Hawking, they are all just mathematicians as far as Science and Physics are concerned.
-- Bill Gaede -
A mathematician is an individual who calls himself a 'physicist' and does 'physics' and physical experiments with abstract concepts.
-- Bill Gaede -
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!
-- Bill Gaede -
The mathematicians of this world regard themselves as 'physicists,' yet they know next to nothing about Physics.
-- Bill Gaede -
And within the world that you've created, the physics of that world have to remain constant; they can't be amorphous and changing.
-- Bill Sienkiewicz -
Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy, and that's wonderful.
-- Bob Hoskins -
Physics grapples with the largest questions the universe presents. 'Where did the totality of reality come from?' 'Did time have a beginning?'
-- Brian Greene
