Quotes About Physics

Nathan Seiberg of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton said, "I am almost certain that space and time are illusions. These are primitive notions that will be replaced by something more sophisticated.
~ Donald D. Hoffman
For principled reasons, Einstein's spacetime cannot be foundational in physics
~ Donald D. Hoffman
a scientific experiment to test whether new rules of physics could spark fascinating life forms whose creativity and pleasure was worth the pain they suffered.
~ Donald D. Hoffman
Dark energy is incredibly strange, but actually it makes sense to me that it went unnoticed, because dark energy has no effect on daily life, or even inside our solar system.
~ Adam Riess
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.
~ Rhonda Byrne
White contains all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum at full brightness. -Theodore Finch
~ Jennifer Niven
Scientists say that the theory of everything is a technical expression, not a metaphysical one.
~ Jenny Offill
Von Neumann told Shannon to call his measure entropy, since "no one knows what entropy is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.
~ Jeremy Campbell
A body will accelerate in proportion to the force acting upon it,
~ Jerome Pohlen
light was both a wave and a particle.
~ Jerome Pohlen
Physicists had only recently discovered radioactivity,
~ Jerome Pohlen
Progress in social psychology is necessary to counteract the dangers which arise from the progress in physics and medicine.
~ Erich Fromm
It wasn't by accident that the Gettysburg adress was so short. The laws of prose writing are immutable as those of flight, of mathematics, of physics. Fr letter to Maxwell Perkins 1945
~ Ernest Hemingway
Systems can go laterally through space. Others move linearly through time.
~ Andrew Mayne
Apparently, just adding mobility by itself would add force to my motions without any stability, so I'd basically be blasting myself forward with each step. Hilarious, but impractical.
~ Andrew Rowe
spacetime model, we might now reasonably ask what is the momentum of the car through time. The answer, fairly obviously, is that
~ Andrew Thomas
But it is this peculiar behaviour of the gravity spring which enables the universe to have zero total energy.
~ Andrew Thomas
each elementary particle is paired with a superpartner particle. However, the LHC has not detected any of these predicted
~ Andrew Thomas
The combined speed of any object's motion through space and its motion through time is always precisely equal to the speed of light.
~ Andrew Thomas
the whole block of spacetime from the start of the universe to the end of the universe exists as one unchanging block. This is called the block universe model.
~ Andrew Thomas
the fifth dimension is proposed to be circular and microscopic.
~ Andrew Thomas
the addition of a fifth dimension has the effect of introducing the electromagnetic field in four-dimensional spacetime.
~ Andrew Thomas
instead of time defining the behaviour of a clock, the light clock essentially defines time!
~ Andrew Thomas
a stationary object moves through time at the speed of light.
~ Andrew Thomas
