Electron Quotes

I lost an electron! Are you positive? Picture Quote #1

To see worlds in an electron Picture Quote #1

Reality is in the observations, not in the electron Picture Quote #1

The electron: may it never be of any use to anybody! Picture Quote #1

The electron is first of all your concept of the electron Picture Quote #1

An electron is real; a probability is not Picture Quote #1

I hitched my wagon to an electron rather than the proverbial star Picture Quote #1

You will get your difficulties with the point electron Picture Quote #1

Information is the new atom or electron, the fundamental building block of the universe ... We now see the world as entirely made of information: it’s bits all the way down Picture Quote #1

We had to understand things like why the top quark was so heavy and the electron is so light. The Higgs is a big, important step Picture Quote #1

The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real Picture Quote #1

... where the electron behaves and misbehaves as it will, where the forces tie themselves up into knots of atoms and come united Picture Quote #1

I used to say the evening that I developed the first x-ray photograph I took of insulin in 1935 was the most exciting moment of my life. But the Saturday afternoon in late July 1969, when we realized that the insulin electron density map was interpretable, runs that moment very close Picture Quote #1

Now all oscillatory movements of such an electron can be conceived of as being split up into force, and two circular oscillations perpendicular to this direction rotating in opposite directions Picture Quote #1

When, in 1949, I decided to join the little band of early explorers who had followed Albert Claude in his pioneering expeditions, electron microscopy was still in its infancy Picture Quote #1

It is a fascinating fact that father and son have given the most striking evidence for the apparently contradictory properties of the electron: the father proving its character as a particle, the son its character as a wave... Thomson was extremely proud of his son’s success and tried to assimilate the new results into his old convictions Picture Quote #1

In the 1920s, a generation before the coming of solid-state electronics, one could look at the circuits and see how the electron stream flowed. Radios had valves, as though electricity were a fluid to be diverted by plumbing. With the click of the knob came a significant hiss and hum, just at the edge of audibility Picture Quote #1

The removal of an electron from the surface of an atom - that is, the ionization of the atom - means a fundamental structural change in its surface layer Picture Quote #1

The magnetic cleavage of the spectral lines is dependent on the size of the charge of the electron, or, more accurately, on the ratio between the mass and the charge of the electron Picture Quote #1

Now if this electron is displaced from its equilibrium position, a force that is directly proportional to the displacement restores it like a pendulum to its position of rest Picture Quote #1

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached Picture Quote #1

In the absence of a magnetic field the period of all these oscillations is the same. But as soon as the electron is exposed to the effect of a magnetic field, its motion changes Picture Quote #1

I think that a particle must have a separate reality independent of the measurements. That is an electron has spin, location and so forth even when it is not being measured. I like to think that the moon is there even if I am not looking at it Picture Quote #1

We compel the electron to assume a definite position. We ourselves produce the results of the measurement Picture Quote #1

It was not until some weeks later that I realized there is no need to restrict oneself to 2 by 2 matrices. One could go on to 4 by 4 matrices, and the problem is then easily soluable. In retrospect, it seems strange that one can be so much held up over such an elementary point. The resulting wave equation for the electron turned out to be very successful. It led to correct values for the spin and the magnetic moment. This was quite unexpected. The work all followed from a study of pretty mathematics, without any thought being given to these physical properties of the electron Picture Quote #1

There was a time when we wanted to be told what an electron is. The question was never answered. No familiar conceptions can be woven around the electron; it belongs to the waiting list Picture Quote #1

It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead it seems more reasonable to try to establish a theoretical quantum mechanics, analogous to classical mechanics, but in which only relations between observable quantities occur Picture Quote #1

The conjuror or con man is a very good provider of information. He supplies lots of data, by inference or direct statement, but it’s false data. Scientists aren’t used to that scenario. An electron or a galaxy is not capricious, nor deceptive; but a human can be either or both Picture Quote #1
