Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it.

You missed it when you pay more attention to the damaged car in the mechanic shop than the sick human being in the hospital.

As you get older, things conk out. It's a bit like a car. As long as it's something the mechanics can fix, you can chug on for a few more thousand miles.

A poet is a time mechanic not an embalmer.

But some of these theories are so bold that they can clash with reality: they are the testable theories of science. And when they clash, then we know that there is a reality; something that can inform us that our ideas are mistaken.

A speaker is like a lousy auto mechanic: Every time he fixes something in the language, he screws up something else.

Digital mechanics predicts that for every continuous symmetry of physics there will be some microscopic process that violates that symmetry.

Common sense has no place in Quantum Mechanics.

Game mechanics are the core of what a game truly is. They are the interactions and relationships that remain when all of the aesthetics, technology, and story are stripped away.

Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well.

History is nothing but a problem of mechanics applied to psychology.

Celestial mechanics is the origin of dynamical systems, linear algebra, topology, variational calculus and symplectic geometry.

Good doctors get a mechanic's pleasure in making you tick over.

I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics.

I don't. We've had three technological revolutions that have changed the course of human history, all driven by physics. In the first, the industrial revolution, physicists developed Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics, which gave us the steam engine and machine power. The second technological revolution was the electricity revolution. That gave us radio, television, and telecommunications. Then, physicists developed the laser and the transistor.

I do not forget that I am a mechanic. I am proud to own it. Neither do I forget that the apostle Paul was a tentmaker; Socrates was a sculptor; and Archimedes was a mechanic.

If all this damned quantum jumping were really here to stay, I should be sorry, I should be sorry I ever got involved with quantum theory.

If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.

If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it.

If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.

I don't understand the mechanics behind things, so a site that I find impressive may not really be more technologically advanced than something which is ostensibly uninteresting.

In sleep, you are safe from the revolting mechanics of living and being a prey to outrageous fortune.

In America, the professor talks to the mechanic. They are in the same category.

I overcame size with mechanics.

It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce a sort of insecurity which some find titillating.

I suffer depression only in the sense that I am a writer. We don't have proper jobs to go to. We are on our own all day. Show me a writer who doesn't get depressed: who has a completely stable mood. They'd be a garage mechanic or something.

It should be judged primarily on grace, elegance and beauty rather than simply on mechanic tumbling.

It wasn't about mechanics; it was about a feeling, wanting to give someone something, which in turn was really gratifying. That really resonated for me.

In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined.

It seems sensible to discard all hope of observing hitherto unobservable quantities, such as the position and period of the electron... Instead it seems more reasonable to try to establish a theoretical quantum mechanics, analogous to classical mechanics, but in which only relations between observable quantities occur.

I've refined my mechanics, refined my pitches. I've gotten more confidence, and I've gotten more determination. I've got a better idea what I'm doing out there.

I was born the son of a humble mechanic. A quantum mechanic.

Nature allows only experimental situations to occur which can be described within the framework of the formalism of quantum mechanics

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

My body is a vehicle for the mechanics of my sport.

No. I had successfully solved the difficulty of finding a description of the electron which was consistent with both relativity and quantum mechanics. Of course, when you solve one difficulty, other new difficulties arise. You then try to sove them. You can never solve all difficulties at once.

Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices.

One of the hardest things for me as an exec was always, particularly as you progress further in the system, is that you're pushed further away from the day to day, the mechanics of making a movie.

Quantum mechanics has explained all of chemistry and most of physics.

Quantum mechanics is so counter-intuitive, physicists have never been able to come up with a comfortable picture of how it works.

Quantum mechanics is confusing and consciousness is confusing, so maybe they're the same.
