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.

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

I was my own worst enemy in my debut. Not one player tested my mechanics.

I was happier when I was doing a mechanic's job.

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.

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.

I work in celestial mechanics, but I am not interested in getting to the moon.

Made poetry a mere mechanic art.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

People wanted to vote for us but the mechanics of getting the voters to the polling stations we didnt have. We did not have the money most of all .

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

Quantum mechanics, with its leap into statistics, has been a mere palliative for our ignorance

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.

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.

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

Quantum mechanics makes absolutely no sense.

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

Reality is a cruel and unintuitive place with frustrating gameplay mechanics. (Press X to thanklessly toil your life away)

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.

Schrödinger's wave-mechanics is not a physical theory, but a dodge - and a very good dodge too.

The Creator is not a careless mechanic.

The discontinuous 'reduction of the wave packets' which cannot be derived from Schroedinger's equation is ... a consequence of the transition from the possible to the actual.

[Recent evidence regarding quantum mechanics is] sufficient to rule out all theological options but one - the Bible's.

Solipsism may be logically consistent with present Quantum Mechanics, Monism in the sense of Materialism is not.

String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe the universe is consistent, and therefore I do believe that general relativity and quantum mechanics should be put together in a manner that makes sense.

[T]he laws of quantum mechanics itself cannot be formulated ... without recourse to the concept of consciousness.

The noncook is in a helpless position, much like that of the car owner who can’t change a tire and has to depend on mechanics to keep his automobile running.

[The Many-worlds interpretation is the] only completely coherent approach to explaining both the contents of quantum mechanics and the appearance of the world.

Very rarely do I work on mechanics now. I tend to solve problems within the music itself.

The science behind Interstellar is interesting, because some of it is absolutely real astrophysics and orbital mechanics, some of it is theoretical physics, and some of it is completely Hollywood. When a science fiction movie is based on plausible science, it's really good.

To know the mechanics of the wave, is to know the entire secret of Nature.

The only object of theoretical physics is to calculate results that can be compared with experiment... it is quite unnecessary that any satisfactory description of the whole course of the phenomena should be given.

The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding.

When I looked into the mechanics of being a businessman, I found it wasn't rocket science.

What should be targeted is a concept of organic, and not just mechanic, democracy that preserves the rule of law, separation of powers, and that is participatory and pluralistic.

When things get tough, there are two things that make life worth living: Mozart, and quantum mechanics

I am not human. I am a cyborg. I am mechanic. That's all I am... right?

Willard Gibbs did for statistical mechanics and for thermodynamics what Laplace did for celestial mechanics and Maxwell did for electrodynamics, namely, made his field a well-nigh finished theoretical structure.

His eyes softened into something almost like amusement, as if such a ragged appearance was all one could expect from a renowned mechanic.

After you start learning all about the mechanics of piloting a riverboat, you stop seeing all the pretty sunsets and you start thinking about the weather.

Take care of your car in the garage, and the car will take care of you on the road.

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

A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist.

Anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy hasn't understood it.
