45 Physicists Quotes for You to Enjoy

Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists. David Hilbert

Physics Difficult Too Physicists Becoming

Most of us who become experimental physicists do so for two reasons; we love the tools of physics because to us they have intrinsic beauty, and we dream of finding new secrets of nature as important and as exciting as those uncovered by our scientific heroes. Luis Walter Alvarez

Love Nature Physics Heroes Important Beauty Become Tools Our Secrets Those Intrinsic Dream Finding Physicists Exciting Uncovered New Most Because Scientific Experimental Us Who Reasons Two

Energy is a concept that has been coined by physicists. There is no observable thing known as energy anywhere. Abdolkarim Soroush

Energy Has-Been Physicists Observable Concept Known Been Anywhere Thing

Now, what space ultimately is - I should confess, I think most physicists believe - we don't yet know. Alan Guth

Space Believe Think Physicists Know Most Ultimately Confess Should Now

We should note that this latter type of shift was successfully amplified to a considerable extent by Russian physicists using the intense light of a ruby laser whose wavelength is close to that of a transition of the potassium atom. Alfred Kastler

Black holes are very exotic objects. Technically, a black hole puts a huge amount of mass inside of zero volume. So our understanding of the center of black holes doesn't make sense, which is a big clue to physicists that we don't have our physics quite right. Andrea M. Ghez

Physics Technically Black Big Understanding Sense Our Inside Black Hole Black Holes Objects Physicists Volume Puts Mass Make Huge Huge Amount Exotic Very Quite Center Hole Which Holes Clue Zero Right Amount

There are no excuses for theoretical physicists not to perform and deliver. Ashoke Sen

Physicists Deliver Perform Excuses Theoretical

Physicists explain creation by telling us that the universe began with the Big Bang, an intense energy singularity that continued expanding. But who created the singularity? Ashwin Sanghi

Big Energy Creation Universe Telling Physicists Big Bang Continue Singularity Began Expanding Bang Intense Explain Us Created Who

Anything that makes us take more seriously scientists - or economists or chemists or physicists or biologists - I think is helpful in times when things get distorted because of people not paying attention to all the facts. Barry Barish

The weapons were conceived and created by a small band of physicists and chemists; they remain a cataclysmic threat to the whole of human society and the natural environment. Barry Commoner

Natural Band Society Weapons Threat Small Remain Physicists Cataclysmic Environment Conceived Were Human Natural Environment Created Whole Human Society

There is an almost universal experience in physicists, at least of my generation, which is home-made pyrotechnics. Bill Foster

Generation Experience My Generation Physicists Almost Least Which Universal

When general relativity was first put forward in 1915, the math was very unfamiliar to most physicists. Now we teach general relativity to advanced high school students. Brian Greene

School First Relativity High High School High School Students General General Relativity Physicists Students Advanced Put Most Math Very Unfamiliar Teach Forward Now

The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about. Clifford Geertz

Worth Beauty Thinking Way Physical Intuition About Physicist Physicists Talk Mathematician Mathematicians Historians Quite Different Which Means Elegance Things

Art is based on very clear, mathematical principles like proportion and harmony. At the same time, physicists need to be inventive, to have ideas, to have some fantasy. Fabiola Gianotti

Art Time Harmony Some Inventive Physicists Proportion Clear Like Ideas Principles Mathematical Very Same Same Time Fantasy Based Need

CERN is a centre of scientific excellence and a source of pride and inspiration for physicists from all over the world, a cradle for technology and innovation, and a shining concrete example of scientific cooperation and peace. Fabiola Gianotti

Technology Peace Innovation World Pride Example Excellence Inspiration Physicists Over Scientific Concrete Source Shining Cradle Centre Cooperation

We physicists know that a beautiful postulate is more likely to be correct than an ugly one. Why not adopt this Postulate of Eternal Life, at least as a working hypothesis? Frank Tipler

Life Beautiful Ugly Correct Adopt More Physicists Hypothesis Know Likely Least Than Eternal Eternal Life Working Why Why Not

In England and the United States, where physicists have at their disposal equipment of very high voltages, several new elements were prepared using protons and deuterons as projectiles. Frederic Joliot-Curie

Several States High Physicists New Equipment Were Very Where England Using Prepared Disposal Elements United United States

Chemistry has been termed by the physicist as the messy part of physics, but that is no reason why the physicists should be permitted to make a mess of chemistry when they invade it. Frederick Soddy

Physics Chemistry Has-Been Invade No Reason Physicist Physicists Part Termed Mess Make Messy Permitted Been Should Reason Why

The question of causality is complex. For some philosophers and physicists, time might not exist. And since cause-and-effect reasoning needs the concept of time - of one thing preceding another - the effort to establish causality is a mug's game, an infinite regression of increasingly unanswerable questions. Greg Grandin

Time Needs Game Increasingly Philosophers Complex One Thing Some Physicists Since Concept Another Causality Exist Question Questions Effort Infinite Establish Might Regression Mug Reasoning Thing

When I was 28 years old, I found myself in Schenectady, New York, where I discovered that it was possible for some people to make a good living as physicists. Ivar Giaever

Myself Good People Old Some People Living Good Living Possible Some Physicists New Make Years Discovered York New York Where Found

Particle physicists may freeze a second, open it up, and explore its dappled contents like surgeons pawing through an abdomen, but in real life, when events occur within thousandths of a second, our minds cannot distinguish past from future. James Gleick

Life Future Events Past Real Life Our Minds Distinguish Physicists Through Open Particle Like Freeze Within Contents Occur Real Up May Cannot Explore Second

There are now over 5,000 medical physicists in the U.S more than 50 times the number in 1958. John Cameron

More Physicists Over Times Than Now Medical Number

Someone like Einstein was quite clearly a moralist, and he had a very highly developed political vision and was very spiritual in his way, and there are many biologists and physicists of the first order who are like that. Jonathan Miller

Spiritual Vision Political First Way Moralist Someone Physicists Had Developed He Highly Clearly Like His His Way Very Quite Order Einstein Who Many Biologists
