Physics Quotes

There are good reasons why we don’t want everyone to learn nuclear physics, medicine or how financial markets work. Our entire modern project has been about delegating power over us to skilled people who want to do the work and be rewarded accordingly Picture Quote #1

It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first law of thermodynamics? Picture Quote #1

Whether you function as welders or inspectors, the laws of physics are implacable lie-detectors. You may fool men. You will never fool the metal Picture Quote #1

Every force field is simultaneously a field of information because even physics now acknowledges that an atom is not only a hierarchy of different states of energy, or different states of force fields Picture Quote #1

Life is strong and fragile. It’s a paradox... It’s both things, like quantum physics: It’s a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together Picture Quote #1

It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship Picture Quote #1

What is especially striking and remarkable is that in fundamental physics a beautiful or elegant theory is more likely to be right than a theory that is inelegant Picture Quote #1

Physics is a good framework for thinking. ... Boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there Picture Quote #1

I have a funny mental framework when I do physics. I create an imaginary audience in my head to explain things to - it is part of the way I think. For me, teaching and explaining, even to my imaginary audience, is part of the process Picture Quote #1

At school, I got into the whole CB thing, hiding a transceiver in my study-bedroom with which I’d make appointments to meet girls in town. I wasn’t good enough at physics to take it much further than fun, but I suppose there was a need to communicate Picture Quote #1

We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes the uncertainties in that warping and how they change Picture Quote #1

What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you’re using general relativity and quantum mechanics you are forced to conclude that God exists Picture Quote #1

Much remains to be learned about stratospheric chemistry - and, in more general terms, about the physics and chemistry of the global atmosphere Picture Quote #1

If you go into any physics lab, everybody is depressed and feels isolated. We don’t get any feedback that anybody cares about what we’re doing Picture Quote #1

One can’t prove that God doesn’t exist, but science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator Picture Quote #1

God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God Picture Quote #1

Theology, philosophy, metaphysics, and quantum physics are merely ways for God to have his smart people believe in him Picture Quote #1

I’d love to go back to Europe in the 20s and 30s, for the beginning of the Psychoanalytic Movement, and Freud and Jung, and all that was going on with discoveries in quantum physics. The whole nature of reality was changing and being challenged Picture Quote #1

I was not paying attention during physics in high school; I was wondering if I was going to be cast in ‘Pippin.’ Picture Quote #1

The golden mean in ethics, as in physics, is the centre of the system and that about which all revolve, and though to a distant and plodding planet it be an uttermost extreme, yet one day, when that planet’s year is completed, it will be found to be central Picture Quote #1

I’ve been around golf my whole life. My father did it all the time, and I resented him for it. But a couple years ago I picked up a golf club and I understood the physics of it. If anyone knows anything about golf, it’s that once you hit a few shots, you’ll become addicted Picture Quote #1

In 1952, I was appointed Professor at the University of Bonn and Director of the Physics Institute, with very good students waiting for a thesis advisor Picture Quote #1

Eight months later, having left Columbia, I was studying physics in a summer program and working in Colorado when I decided to enroll as a graduate student in biophysics Picture Quote #1

I love physics with all my heart ... It is a kind of personal love, as one has for a person to whom one is grateful for many things Picture Quote #1

Neutrino physics is largely an art of learning a great deal by observing nothing Picture Quote #1

Now, learning how to make a movie is something you can figure out in about an afternoon. The physics of it, the marks, the lights, etc. What’s hard to do is to suspend your own feelings of self consciousness. The natural actors can do that; they can become part of a characterization and learn how to maintain it Picture Quote #1

We all hate on ourselves way too much, and there are so many people who think they have to look like those women on TV. That’s so unreasonable. Everybody is supposed to be a different size. And if I can just be confident in myself, then I’ll look better. It’s quantum physics! Picture Quote #1

There have always been arguments showing that free will is an illusion: some based on hard physics, others based on pure logic Picture Quote #1

It would seem that I, who never could make much sense of physics when I was at school, have now gained a strong sense of Einsteinian space-time. I am free of the nimbyism of now, and feel a strong kinship with both the dead and the unborn Picture Quote #1

Some PhD physicists write software or work for hedge funds, but physics still has a problem with having very smart people but not enough opportunities Picture Quote #1
