A consistent pursuit of classical physics forces a transformation in the very heart of that physics.

I'm a person who's very interested in science and the universe and quantum physics and astrophysics.

I've always been fascinated by physics and cosmology. It gets more and more scary the older you get.

One of the most beautiful hypotheses ever propounded in physics is ... the Dynamical Theory of Gases

Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.

I was not an especially diligent student but nevertheless obtained a reasonable education in physics.

It is because the method of physics does not satisfy the comprehension that we have to go on further.

I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.

When I received my B. S. degree in 1932, only two of the fundamental particles of physics were known.

The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level.

My first job out of school was to do basic research at Johns Hopkins University's applied physics lab.

I had no new ideas on the physics we might learn, and I could not compete with the younger generation.

The abstract analysis of the world by mathematics and physics rests on the concepts of space and time.

Lectures which really teach will never be popular; lectures which are popular will never really teach.

Personally, I'm not into 'Star Trek' or physics or comic books, but I know I might be in the minority.

Physics can be difficult sometimes. And by sometimes, I mean always. And by Physics, I mean everything.

I'm a bit of a layman physics junkie. I don't really understand it, but I love trying to understand it.

The next grand extensions of mathematical physics will, in all likelihood, be furnished by quaternions.

One of the most beautiful papers in physics that I know of is yours in the American Journal of Physics.

To me, what makes physics physics is that experiment is intimately connected to theory. It's one whole.

Physics advances by accepting absurdities. Its history is one of unbelievable ideas proving to be true.

It's not magic! It's physics. The speed of the turn is what keeps you upright. It's like a spinning top.

Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.

There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.

Originally I had planned to revert to nuclear physics there, in particular the structure of the deuteron.

Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?

So Whitehead's metaphysics doesn't fit very well on to physics as we understand the process of the world.

The physics of the 21st century shall deal essentially with non-spatial matter and non-spatial mechanics.

My wish is to construct a system of sociology on the model of celestial mechanics, physics, and chemistry.

I went to a liberal arts college, and as part of my background, I was majoring in mathematics and physics.

Teaching physics at the University, and more general lecturing to wider audiences has been a major concern.

Relativity must replace absolutism in the realm of morals as well as in the spheres of physics and biology.

I have always enjoyed explaining physics. In fact it's more than just enjoyment: I need to explain physics.

What is it possible to do well, in physics particularly, if things are not reduced to degrees and measures?

In 1948 I was appointed to a Lectureship in Physics and in 1949 elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College.

Theoretical physics is one of the few fields in which being disabled is no handicap - it is all in the mind.

A book on the new physics, if not purely descriptive of experimental work, must essentially be mathematical.

...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance.

The application of group theory to physics became one of the main branches of physics that I specialized in.

It's physics. Pure physics, I'm falling fast and faster still. So fall with me. Fall down with me. And stay.

Don't be surprised if in the 21st century lectures on meditation appear in university catalogues for physics.

The goddess Physics was Stephen's idol. I was not jealous of her, but she did give me some cause for concern.

Instead of physicists teaching physics, physicists should go home and see what physics applies to their home.

Mathematical physics is in the first place physics and it could not exist without experimental investigations.

It would be most satisfactory if physics and psyche could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality

The paradigm of physics - with its interplay of data, theory and prediction - is the most powerful in science.

Physics is about questioning, studying, probing nature. You probe, and, if you're lucky, you get strange clues.

Ah, political physics. Someone wins an election and, poof, they are a candidate for vice president. Ridiculous.

I was not paying attention during physics in high school; I was wondering if I was going to be cast in 'Pippin.'

The mathematicians of this world regard themselves as 'physicists,' yet they know next to nothing about Physics.
