Physics Quotes

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

The grounding in natural sciences which I obtained in the course of my medical studies, including preliminary examinations in botany, zoology, physics, and chemistry, was to become decisive in determining the trend of my literary work.

We were making the first step out of the age of chemistry and physics, and into the age of biology.

As for the forces, electromagnetism and gravity we experience in everyday life. But the weak and strong forces are beyond our ordinary experience. So in physics, lots of the basic building blocks take 20th- or perhaps 21st-century equipment to explore.

Nothing is accidental in the universe - this is one of my Laws of Physics - except the entire universe itself, which is Pure Accident, pure divinity.

Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.

Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.

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

Think of color, pitch, loudness, heaviness, and hotness. Each is the topic of a branch of physics.

This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it.

A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.

I received my undergraduate degree in engineering in 1939 and a Master of Science degree in mathematical physics in 1941 at Steven Institute of Technology.

Dark energy is perhaps the biggest mystery in physics.

Other than the laws of physics, rules have never really worked out for me.

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.

I have devoted much time and energy to helping medical physics in developing countries.

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.

Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics.

There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.

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

I entered the Physics Department in 1950, receiving a Master's degree in 1953 and a Ph.D. in 1956. It is difficult to convey the sense of excitement that pervaded the Department at that time.

I like physics. I think it is the best science out of all three of them, because generally it's more useful. You learn about speed and velocity and time, and that's all clever stuff.

Biology is now bigger than physics, as measured by the size of budgets, by the size of the workforce, or by the output of major discoveries; and biology is likely to remain the biggest part of science through the twenty-first century.

I do not keep up with the details of particle physics.

If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them.

Understanding how DNA transmits all it knows about cancer, physics, dreaming and love will keep man searching for some time.

Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons.

The new formula in physics describes humans as paradoxical beings who have two complementary aspects: They can show properties of Newtonian objects and also infinite fields of consciousness.

There are several books that I have-the Physics of Star Trek, Star Trek and Business, there are manuals on command style and countless scholarly papers that have been written about the significance of Next Generation.

The Web is now philosophical engineering. Physics and the Web are both about the relationship between the small and the large.
