Physics as we know it will be over in six months.

Physics tells us observations can't be predicted absolutely. Rather, there's a range of possible observations each with a different probability.

Physics isn't a religion. If it were, we'd have a much easier time raising money.

Physics has found no straight lines. Instead, the physical universe consists of only waves undulating back and forth allowing for corrections and balance.

Physics as we know it will be over in six months - Max Born

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.

Physics grapples with the largest questions the universe presents. Where did the totality of reality come from? Did time have a beginning?

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

Physics is simple, but subtle.

Physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate but routine.

Politics follows the lines of physics: every action creates an equal and opposite reaction.

Quantum physics shows us the universe as a dynamic web of connection.

Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy, and that's wonderful.

Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong.

Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It's whole universes coming into and out of existence.

Quantum physics is no longer an abstract theory for specialists. We must now absolutely include it in our education and also in our culture.

Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.

Relativity must replace absolutism in the realm of morals as well as in the spheres of physics and biology.

Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not?

Politics is more difficult than physics.

So far as physics is concerned, time's arrow is a property of entropy alone.

The atomic hypothesis which had worked so splendidly in Physics breaks down in Psychics.

String theory is 21 st century physics that fell accidentally into the 20th century.

That which is not measurable is not science. That which is not physics is stamp collecting.

The bottom line is that time travel is allowed by the laws of physics.

The best that most of us can hope to achieve in physics is simply to misunderstand at a deeper level.

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.

The laws of Congress and the laws of physics have grown increasingly divergent, and the laws of physics are not likely to yield.

The laws of physics that we regard as 'sacred,' as immutable, are anything but.

The mathematicians of this world regard themselves as 'physicists,' yet they know next to nothing about Physics.

The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.

The more physics you have the less engineering you need.

The more success the quantum theory has, the sillier it looks

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

The next grand extensions of mathematical physics will, in all likelihood, be furnished by quaternions.

The paradigm of physics - with its interplay of data, theory and prediction - is the most powerful in science.

The physics of undergraduate text-books is 90% true; the contents of the primary research journals of physics is 90% false.

The physics of the 21st century shall deal essentially with non-spatial matter and non-spatial mechanics.

The physics of motion provides one of the clearest examples of the counter-intuitive and unexpected nature of science.

The physics of undergraduate text-books is 90% true.

The physics of water is central to cooking, because food is mostly water. All steak that you cook is actually boiled on the inside.

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.

There are no accidents or coincidences in life - everything is synchronicity - because everything has a frequency. It's simply the physics of life and the universe in action.

... The approach of von Neumann and Connes to the use of non-commutative algebra in physics is naive, the situation is much more complicated.

There is nothing special in the world. nothing magic. just physics.

There are relatively few experiments in atomic physics these days that don't involve the use of a laser.

The terrifying physics of going up-mast in heavy seas are inescapable.

There's no evidence whatsoever that Darwin had anything useful to say or anything to say period about how life began or how the universe began or how gravity began or how physics began or fluid motion or how thermodynamics began. He had nothing to say about that whatsoever.

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.

The smallest thought could not exist unless the entire universe and the laws of physics were in some way encouraging it.
