confused science mechanic
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.

funny science hearing
A person who wasn't outraged on first hearing about quantum theory didn't understand what had been said.
science predictions difficult
Prediction is difficult, especially the future.
science reality agency
An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation.
science understanding selfless
Every sentence I utter must be understood not as an affirmation, but as a question.
science firsts physics
Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it.
truth science opposites
The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.
inspirational life science
If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.
crazy science technology
Your theory is crazy, but it's not crazy enough to be true.
inspirational science thinking
Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.
expert mistakes narrow
