„I'm fascinated with quantum physics.“

Picture of quotation author Edward Witten
„Regardless of any deviations, it was clear I was supposed to end up in math and physics.“
― Edward Witten ―
Picture of quotation author Edward Witten
„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.“
― Edward Witten ―
Picture of quotation author Edward Witten
„Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.“
― Edward Witten ―
Picture of quotation author Edward Witten
„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.“
― Edward Witten ―
Picture of quotation author Edward Witten
„Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point particle is replaced by a string, which is more spread out.“
― Edward Witten ―
Picture of quotation author Kenneth G. Wilson
„My father was on the faculty in the Chemistry Department of Harvard University; my mother had one year of graduate work in physics before her marriage.“
Picture of quotation author A. N. Wilson
„Since Einstein developed his theory of relativity, and Rutherford and Bohr revolutionised physics, our picture of the world has radically changed.“
― A. N. Wilson ―
Picture of quotation author Marianne Williamson
„Old Newtonian physics claimed that things have an objective reality separate from our perception of them. Quantum physics, and particularly Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, reveal that, as our perception of an object changes, the object itself literally changes.“
Picture of quotation author Eugene Wigner
„Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them.“
― Eugene Wigner ―
Picture of quotation author Benjamin Whorf
„But in due course it became evident that not only a physical situation qua physics, but the meaning of that situation to people, was sometimes a factor, through the behavior of people, in the start of a fire.“
― Benjamin Whorf ―
Picture of quotation author Sheldon Whitehouse
„If we believe in an all-powerful God, then we must then believe that God gave us this Earth, and we must in turn believe that God gave us its laws of gravity, of chemistry, of physics. We must also believe that God gave us our human powers of intellect and reason.“
Picture of quotation author Geoffrey West
„I spent most of my career doing high-energy physics, quarks, dark matter, string theory and so on.“
― Geoffrey West ―
Picture of quotation author Geoffrey West
„The paradigm of physics - with its interplay of data, theory and prediction - is the most powerful in science.“
― Geoffrey West ―
Picture of quotation author Margaret Wertheim
„When I was a physics major in the late 1970s, my very few fellow female students and I had high hopes that women would soon stand equal with men in science. But progress has proved slower than many of us imagined.“
Picture of quotation author Lisa Ann Walter
„We all hate on ourselves way too much, and there are so many people who think they have to look like those women on TV. That's so unreasonable. Everybody is supposed to be a different size. And if I can just be confident in myself, then I'll look better. It's quantum physics!“
― Lisa Ann Walter ―
Picture of quotation author Andy Wachowski
„There's something uniquely interesting about Buddhism and mathematics, particularly about quantum physics, and where they meet. That has fascinated us for a long time.“
― Andy Wachowski ―
Picture of quotation author Jesse Ventura
„Government is like physics, you know - for every action, there's a reaction.“
― Jesse Ventura ―
Picture of quotation author Wietse Venema
„In a previous life I wrote the software that controlled my physics experiments. That software had to deal with all kinds of possible failures in equipment. That is probably where I learned to rely on multiple safety nets inside and around my systems.“
― Wietse Venema ―
