Quotes About Theory

The … goal of all theory is to make the … basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of … experience. —Albert Einstein,1 physicist

To create a community where faith matters not just in theory but in reality, faith has to be a public value, not just a private one.

This is the new psychosocial theory of everything: our early emotional stories determine the body and brain's operating system and how well they will be able to guard our optimal physical and emotional health all of our adult lives.

There are some who side with Belushi in his disputes with Beatts and Shuster, saying the sketches they were writing, especially early on, simply weren't that good and that he was right to reject them. Marilyn Miller is one who endorses that theory. Miller found that John would jump at parts that gave him a chance to act. "More than anything," Miller says, "he wanted to succeed at that.

One of Lorne's pet theories had always been that Saturday Night was not so much in the business of television as it was in the business of rock and roll. The audience, the sensibility, was the same, he said, the show had simply picked up where rock in the sixties left off.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovered exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. " —Arthur Schopenhauer "We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct." —Niels Bohr, Nobel Laureate & Quantum Physics Pioneer

This led Einstein to postulate that gravity isn't a force at all, but a geometric property, the warping of the fabric of space-time itself.

the great pioneer of quantum physics, Niels Bohr, who had said, "We all agree that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough.

Richard Feynman showed that anti-matter is identical, mathematically, to ordinary matter traveling backward in time. He

I'm told it's a stunning advance in the mathematics and physics of the Calabi-Yau manifold. I had no idea what this was. But my science people tell me it's a six-dimensional space that results when the ten dimensions of superstring theory are rolled up.

When you're moving at the speed of light through space, you stop moving through time. It stops completely. It turns out that your speed through space, combined with your speed through time, always adds up to the speed of light.

It turns out that while objects can move through space and time at different rates, they all move through space-time at exactly the same rate: the speed of light. Always.

anything I've ever done. This makes string theory look as simple as addition.

a number of prominent scientists believe our minds are quantum instruments. That consciousness itself is a quantum event.

Einstein: His Life and Universe,

The dreams of communism and socialism were the sincerest attempts of their day to come up with and put into practice a theory of everything. The endless writings and pamphlets and evangelism in every country of Europe were one more attempt to dream a meaningful dream, capable of solving everything and addressing the problems of everyone. It was, as T. S. Eliot memorably described it, an effort at 'dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good'.

As early as 1948, the Kinsey Report had reinforced the bluff-your-way-into-Freud theory of human sexuality, placing everyone on a bisexual continuum. So good citizens learned there might be something queer in everybody – and everybody meant even themselves !

You know it's very hard to maintain a theory in the face of life that comes crashing about you.

There is no explanation in the Big Bang theory for the seemingly fortuitous fact that the density of matter has just the right value for the evolution of a benign, life supporting universe.
