Physics Quotes
"But even physics cannot be defined from an atomic topography."
57
"Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists."
39
"It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top."
33
"There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser."
26
"I do not keep up with the details of particle physics."
26
"Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light."
19
"Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle."
18
"Chemistry has been termed by the physicist as the messy part of physics, but that is no reason why the physicists should be permitted to make a mess of chemistry when they invade it."
18
"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."
18
"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."
17
"Well, I'm leaning probably toward the sciences like physics."
17
"If someone says that he can think or talk about quantum physics without becoming dizzy, that shows only that he has not understood anything whatever about it."
17
"We are like some particle in motion always moving and meeting other particle."
16
"Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics."
16
"Originally I had planned to revert to nuclear physics there, in particular the structure of the deuteron."
15
"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."
15
"An immovable object and an unstoppable force don't exist in universe which ruled by single ruler."
14
"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."
12
"Energy is liberated matter, matter is energy waiting to happen."
10
"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."

"Every engine takes advantage of a difference."
