Quotes About Quantum

If we lost all the dead space inside our atoms, we would each be able to fit into a particle of dust, and the entire human race would fit into the volume of a sugar cube.

Relativity works in the realm of the large. It deals with gravity and mass and speed. Quantum mechanics deals with the very small. Elementary particles. Like electrons. Both paint a picture of a universe that seems ridiculous. Crazier than something out of a fantasy novel.

quantum entanglement. Everything in the universe is connected in some way with every other thing. Drove Einstein crazy. And quantum physics suggests that the universe is shaped by consciousness rather than the other way around.

I myself believe that there will one day be time travel because when we find that something isn't forbidden by the over-arching laws of physics, we usually eventually find a technological way of doing it." ?—David Deutsch (Oxford physicist who laid the foundations for quantum computing)

one from 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.

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

Quantum electrodynamics holds that the all-pervading vacuum continuously spawns particles and waves that spontaneously pop into and out of existence on an almost unimaginably short time scale. This churning quantum 'foam,' as some physicists call it, is believed to extend throughout the universe. It fills empty space within the atoms in human bodies, and reaches the emptiest and most remote regions of the cosmos.

many believe that consciousness itself is a quantum effect.

Relativity works in the realm of the large. It deals with gravity and mass and speed. Quantum mechanics deals with the very small. Elementary particles. Like electrons. Both paint a picture of a universe that seems ridiculous. Crazier than something out of a fantasy novel." "For instance?" prompted Elovic. "Relativity shows that as an object speeds up, time itself passes more and more slowly for it. At the speed of light, time stops altogether.

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

Consciousness is a quantum effect. Even your scientists have begun to realize this.

Discover Magazine (2018) "Down the Quantum Rabbit Hole: Fellow Scientists labeled him a crackpot. Now Stuart Hameroff's quantum consciousness theories are getting support from unlikely places.

El budismo tibetano denomina "Rigpa" al reino de lo cuántico en potencia, a la conciencia única autorreferencial.

Do radioactive cats have eighteen half-lives?

For the most part, quantum theory has been of little practical value in my life.

How did our thoughts affect our reality and interact with the world on a quantum level?

Perhaps death represents the severing of the living organism's connection with the orderly quantum realm, leaving it powerless to resist the randomizing forces of thermodynamics.

the domain of quantum world is so astonishingly strange that it even makes tales of alien abductions sound perfectly reasonable

The advantage of a quantum walk over a classical random walk can be appreciated by returning to our slow-moving drunk and imagining that the bar he leaves has sprung a leak and that water is pouring out of its door.

When you separate an entwined particle and you move both parts away from the other, even at opposite ends of the universe, if you alter or affect one, the other will be identically altered or affected. Spooky. (Adam in Only Lovers Left Alive)

Science has proved that everything is energy, and now they have dark energy, dark matter. They don't call it all-embracing consciousness; they call it dark because they can't measure it. You know, paint it black.

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?

It's indeed surprising that replacing the elementary particle with a string leads to such a big change in things. I'm tempted to say that it has to do with the fuzziness it introduces.

While classical mechanics correctly predicts the behavior of large objects such as tennis balls, to predict the behavior of small objects such as electrons, we must use quantum mechanics.
