Physics Quotes - Page 3

One can't prove that God doesn't exist. But science makes God unnecessary. The laws of physics can explain the universe without the need for a creator.

Physics changes, but reality stays the same

Neutrino physics is largely an art of learning a great deal by observing nothing.

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

There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.

Basically, I wasn't properly socialized, so it made sense to do physics.

The emphasis on mathematical methods seems to be shifted more towards combinatorics and set theory - and away from the algorithm of differential equations which dominates mathematical physics.

Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics.

[Computer science] is not really about computers and it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not about microscopes and Petri dishes... and geometry isn't really about using surveying instruments.

The new physics provides a modern version of ancient spirituality. In a universe made out of energy, everything is entangled; everything is one.

Religion is the metaphysics of the masses.

The possibilities that are suggested in quantum physics tell us that everything that we're looking at may not be in fact there, so the underlying nature of being is weird.

Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, "Is it reasonable?"

There is only one science, physics: everything else is social work.

The content of physics is the concern of physicists, its effect the concern of all men.

Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in describing nature with the most generality and the greatest simplicity are very elegant and subtle.

physics explains everything, which we know because anything physics cannot explain does not exist, which we know because whatever exists must be explicable by physics, which we know because physics explains everything. There is something here of the mystical.

All the standard equations of mathematical physics can be separated and solved in Kerr geometry.

Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense.

Turbulence is the most important unsolved problem of classical physics.

If it squirms, it's biology; if it stinks, it's chemistry; if it doesn't work, it's physics; and if you can't understand it, it's mathematics.

Physics is essentially an intuitive and concrete science. Mathematics is only a means for expressing the laws that govern phenomena.

So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible.

If all of mathematics disappeared, physics would be set back by exactly one week.

Laughter is the real religion. Everything else is just metaphysics.
