Famous Quotes & Sayings

David Hilbert

Physics is much too hard for physicists.

Antony Garrett Lisi

What physics tells us is that everything comes down to geometry and the interactions of elementary particles. And things can happen only if these interactions are perfectly balanced.

Elizabeth Moon

Hard to be a physics major at Rice University if you have flunked calculus.

Daniel H. Wilson

Without us here to witness, the universe is just pointless physics unfolding.

Edward Witten

String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century.

Ben Stein

There's no evidence whatsoever that Darwin had anything useful to say or anything to say period about how life began or how the universe began or how gravity began or how physics began or fluid motion or how thermodynamics began. He had nothing to say about that whatsoever.

Walter Wada

Physics is a terrible, terrible, terrible thing. It takes all of your energy, all of your time and all of your attention.

Albert Einstein

The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.

Albert Einstein

If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.

Barry Zito

I hadn't focused on mechanics since I signed professionally.

Carl Friedrich Gauss

I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect...geometry should be ranked, not with arithmetic, which is purely aprioristic, but with mechanics.

Bryan Price

We want him completely healthy, and we want his mechanics sound. Until that happens, he won't pitch.

Ben Quiles

She's amazing. She locates well, and her mechanics are unbelievable. She's a smart pitcher.

Riley Wallace

The plane to Boise had some kind of mechanical problem; we were actually on the plane before they sent us back. And then we just sat and waited and there was no other way to get us to Boise, so they sent us to Seattle and put us up for the night.

Mark Frauenfelder

My problem with mechanical pencils is that I break the lead tips constantly.

Jason Isringhausen

I think I have my mechanics back in order. Things are going in the right direction. It doesn't look like it totally, but to me, they are.

Mike Lieberthal

He's going to be a little wild anyway, because he had such movement on his fastball, but today his mechanics were off, so it was really flying.

Mark Prior

I don't know what adjustments I could make. My mechanics to me are about as simple as you could get.

John Polkinghorne

Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can understand.

Albert Einstein

The more one chases the quanta, the better they hide themselves.

Stephen Hawking

We are the product of quantum fluctuations in the very early universe.

Greg Zandlo

They know it's volatile, but if there's going to be quantum growth, that's where it's going to be.
