Quotes About Quantum

Everything is energy. It's physics. So I find the science of it all interesting; how 90% of stuff that's in our universe is made of stuff that we can't even measure. I find that fascinating.

God not only plays dice, he throws them in the corner where you can't see them.

Theoretical and experimental physicists are now studying nothing at all-the vacuum. But that nothingness contains all of being.

We're looking for quantum donuts, " said Mike.

You can flip a coin but Schrodinger's pet cat will still be in that box.

The realization, early in high school, that a particle behaved differently if observed or left alone.

All modern work on unification may be said to represent a program of geometrization that resembles Einstein's earlier attempts, although the manifold subject to geometrization is larger than he anticipated and the quantum framework of the program would not have been to his liking.

People want electrons to orbit atoms like tiny planets, hard and regular. They make sense that way. People like that....they don't want their electrons to exist only as a cloud of potentialities. But that's what we've got now, and we're stuck with it. Quantum mechanics isn't going to roll over and die as easily as God did.

To Max, a quantum state was one where gambling was licensed, and Schrödinger's cat lived somewhere on Laurel Avenue.

Consider a world in which cause and effect are erratic. Sometimes the first precedes the second, and sometimes the second the first. Or perhaps cause lies forever in the past effect in the future, but future and past are intertwined.

It is a mystery to me," he told me, "why we have quantum mechanics when there is only one state of the universe." In other words, why should there be probabilities of alternative conditions of our universes when we inhabit only one condition? And do those other potential conditions actually exist in other universes somewhere?

As Vilenkin said to me, quantum physics can produce a universe without cause—just as quantum physics shows how electrons can change orbits in atoms without cause. There are no definite cause-and-effect relationships in the quantum world, only probabilities

Because of the hazy, nondefinite character of quantum physics (called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle), at the dimensions of the Planck length, space and time churn and seethe, with the distance between any two points wildly fluctuating from moment to moment, and time randomly speeding and slowing, perhaps even going backward and forward. In such a situation, time and space no longer exist in a way that has meaning to us.

Dear Artificer, I've blown my quanta and gone to the Good Place!

Conscious realism makes a bold claim: consciousness, not spacetime and its objects, is fundamental reality and is properly described as a network of conscious agents.31 To earn its keep, conscious realism must do serious work ahead. It must ground a theory of quantum gravity, explain the emergence of our spacetime interface and its objects, explain the appearance of Darwinian evolution within that interface, and explain the evolutionary emergence of human psychology.

light was both a wave and a particle.

C. J. Martes, healer and author, has helped clients in more than forty countries for nearly twenty years. In 2004 she developed Akashic Field Therapy (AFT), an integral method of quantum healing that helps individuals identify and then remove subconscious negative patterns and beliefs at the mental, physical, and spiritual level. Her work blends A-field (Akashic Field) Theory, Behavioral and Integral Psychology, Vibrational Medicine, and Western science.

A scientist is someone trying to see order in chaos. Sometimes it simply can't be done, as science tells us via quantum mechanics and chaos theory. A thing can

An excellent definition can be found in the book Quantum Enigma by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner: "Whenever any property of a microscopic object affects a macroscopic object, that property is 'observed' and becomes a physical reality." For example, when a microscopic photon hits the macroscopic screen in the double-slit experiment, then

spacetime model, we might now reasonably ask what is the momentum of the car through time. The answer, fairly obviously, is that

each elementary particle is paired with a superpartner particle. However, the LHC has not detected any of these predicted

the fifth dimension is proposed to be circular and microscopic.

the addition of a fifth dimension has the effect of introducing the electromagnetic field in four-dimensional spacetime.

relativity, and how to make sense of bizarre quantum mechanical behaviour — were considered in my previous book. I am pleased to say that this new book is going to propose a potentially simple solution to many of the remaining problems. Forces
