The physics of water is central to cooking, because food is mostly water. All steak that you cook is actually boiled on the inside.
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
You have to do what the story demands, but inside of those constraints, I try to inject as much realistic physics as I'm allowed to.
Physics is essentially an intuitive and concrete science. Mathematics is only a means for expressing the laws that govern phenomena.
There's something called From 'Alchemy to Quarks,' which will teach you everything you have to know, you want to know, about physics.
A mathematician is an individual who calls himself a 'physicist' and does 'physics' and physical experiments with abstract concepts.
In modern physics, the universe is experienced as a dynamic inseparable whole which always includes the observer in an essential way.
How far would people get in physics if discovery was described as disgusting - "Your formula is disgusting and filthy"? Not very far.
I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.
If you can't illustrate 'it', 'it' doens't belong in Physics as a noun! You can't put an article in front. You can't put a verb after!
One of the bedrock principles of physics is the conservation of energy. In this universe, energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.
As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn't make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists.
Although I was really interested in physics, I think I wanted to do it because I thought it was really hard. I did theoretical physics.
It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.
I had a difficult time getting my arms around Einstein's work, even when I was a physics major at one of the top universities in India.
I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people.
Thinking about quantum physics is like unraveling your brain and putting it back together again upside down. Much like studying Kabbalah.
The basic science is not physics or mathematics but biology -- the study of life. We must learn to think both logically and bio-logically.
Physics grapples with the largest questions the universe presents. Where did the totality of reality come from? Did time have a beginning?
We judge economics by what it can produce. As such, economics is rather more like engineering than physics: more practical than spiritual.
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
Ultimately, my Ph.D. is in mathematical physics, focusing on quantum field theory and curved space-time, and I worked with Stephen Hawking.
As physics has proven, we're ultimately particulate matter, which means we are all one. That's why racial and gender bias is so ridiculous.
Man can be understood only by ascending from physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. In other words, he is first of all a cosmic problem.
The science of semiconducting and metallic polymers is inherently interdisciplinary; it falls at the intersection of chemistry and physics.
There are two worlds we live in: a material world, bound by the laws of physics, and the world inside our mind, which is just as important.
Digital mechanics predicts that for every continuous symmetry of physics there will be some microscopic process that violates that symmetry.
Quantum physics is no longer an abstract theory for specialists. We must now absolutely include it in our education and also in our culture.
So, economics should emulate physics' basic ethos, but its search for precision in physics-like formulas is almost always wrong in economics.
... The approach of von Neumann and Connes to the use of non-commutative algebra in physics is naive, the situation is much more complicated.
I think for a long time we were just 10 percent women in physics, and so obviously people can see things in the way they've always been seen.
We are not at the end but at the beginning of a new physics. But whatever we find, there will always be new horizons continually awaiting us.
It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset.
My A-levels were physics, chemistry and maths. Science is fascinating but I wouldn't say I have used it since then. I decided to do economics.
Just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim Algebra, we will see tht there is no such thing as Christian or Muslim morality.
Physics grapples with the largest questions the universe presents. 'Where did the totality of reality come from?' 'Did time have a beginning?'
The point here is that physics followed the data where it seemed to lead, even though some thought the model gave aid and comfort to religion.
If it squirms, it's biology; if it stinks, it's chemistry; if it doesn't work, it's physics; and if you can't understand it, it's mathematics.
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.
I didn't know what kinds of questions to ask in mathematics. In physics, I could see there were things that were known and things that weren't.
Physics tells us observations can't be predicted absolutely. Rather, there's a range of possible observations each with a different probability.
There's a lot of real estate in our brain dedicated to facial recognition and to physics. That takes a lot of processing power out of our brain.
The new physics provides a modern version of ancient spirituality. In a universe made out of energy, everything is entangled; everything is one.
In geometric and physical applications, it always turns out that a quantity is characterized not only by its tensor order, but also by symmetry.
Nothing can be more incorrect than the assumption one sometimes meets with, that physics has one method, chemistry another, and biology a third.
Much remains to be learned about stratospheric chemistry - and, in more general terms, about the physics and chemistry of the global atmosphere.
There is no law of physics that says just because we're connected, there has to be this schism between our physical lives and our digital lives.
As an assistant in the polytechnic department, I was able to finance new studies and got my Physics Masters Degree in 1958 and my Ph.D. in 1959.
