"In 1947 I defended my thesis on nuclear physics, and in 1948 I was included in a group of research scientists whose task was to develop nuclear weapons."
"Just the actual physics of putting it all together, you know, the latter period is actually quite fragmented in terms of the licenses and all those things so it makes a compilation of the full twenty years really a technical minefield."
"Everything is fields, and a particle is just a smaller version of a field.There is a harmonic relationship involved.Disturbing ideas like those of Einstein in 1905 and Feynman Pocono Conference in 1948.Here we go;1) The universe is ringing like a bell. Neil Turok's Public Lecture: The Astonishing Simplicity of Everything.2) The stuff of the universe is waves or fields.3) Scale is relative, not fixed because all of these waves are ratios of one another.4) The geometry is fractal. This could be physical or computational.5) If the geometry is computational then, there is no point in speaking about the relationship of the pixels on the display."
"The great weight of the ship may indeed prevent her from acquiring her greatest velocity; but when she has attained it, she will advance by her own intrinsic motion, without gaining any new degree of velocity, or lessening what she has acquired."
"It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top."
"Energy is liberated matter, matter is energy waiting to happen."
"Originally I had planned to revert to nuclear physics there, in particular the structure of the deuteron."
"An immovable object and an unstoppable force don't exist in universe which ruled by single ruler."
"Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics."

"The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated branches of the science."
"A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street."
"One can measure the importance of a scientific work by the number of earlier publications rendered superfluous by it."
"Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules with meaningless marks on paper."
"The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality."
"If one were to bring ten of the wisest men in the world together and ask them what was the most stupid thing in existence, they would not be able to discover anything so stupid as astrology."
"He who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks in the most part in vain."
"Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a scientific result will establish itself."
"If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proven?"
