The laws of physics are the canvas God laid down on which to paint his masterpiece.

...quantum mechanics—the physics of our world—requires that you hold such pedestrian complaints in abeyance.

Any time things go to infinity in physics, we know we haven't gotten it right.

Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics.

Galileo - the father of modern physics - indeed of modern science.

The importance of infinite processes for the practical exigencies of technical life can hardly be overemphasized. Practically all applications of arithmetic to geometry, mechanics, physics and even statistics involve these processes directly and indirectly.

To talk intelligibly about modern physics, we have to admit the possibility of uncaused events.

The day I went into physics class it was death.

It is tribute to how far we have come in theoretical physics that it now takes enormous machines and a great deal of money to perform experiments whose results we can not predict.

In some ways I'm a frustrated scientist or mathematician. The amount of times I've thought I'd go back to university and do theoretical physics because I like the big questions, but really I know now that that's not quite me. What's me is to do it in novels.

...paranormal phenomena such as apports, prediction, telepathy, dowsing and the like can be explained by an extended physics as potentially real effects.

The scientists who made the atomic bomb are, in my sense, people with a tragic destiny. You know, there was the US race with Nazi Germany and good evidence that the Germans were more advanced in nuclear physics, and we had to get the bomb first. But then there was the use of that dreadful weapon, or instrument of genocide, and many of the more sensitive scientists turned quickly into anti - nuclear people - and very effective ones.

We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much more valid than the derivation.
