It is said that Mathematics is the language of nature. If so, Physics is its poetry.

Anyone being flown to a distant city for heart-bypass surgery has conceded, tacitly at least, that we have learned a few things about physics, geography, engineering, and medicine since the time of Moses.

When was the last time that someone was criticized for not respecting another person's unfounded beliefs about physics or history? The same rules should apply to ethical, spiritual, and religious beliefs as well.

Our interests in life are not always served by viewing people and things as collections of atoms—but this doesn't negate the truth or utility of physics.

Either consciousness is epiphenomenal or it's outside a physical system but somehow playing a role in physics. That's a more traditional, dualist possibility. Or there's a third possibility: Consciousness is somehow built in at the fundamental level of physics.

Very little strength can produce much motion of air. Learn about air as motion.

The observer effect in quantum physics states that where you direct your attention is where you place your energy. As a consequence, you affect the material world.

Lo que estaba aprendiendo es uno de los principios fundamentales de la física cuántica: mente y materia no son dos elementos distintos, y nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos tanto conscientes como inconscientes son los planos que determinan nuestro destino.

When energy vibrates slower, particles appear in physical reality for longer periods of time and thus appear as solid matter.

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, we never know where the electron is going to appear in the electron cloud, yet from nothing comes something. This is why quantum physics is so exciting and unpredictable: The electron is not always physical matter; rather, it exists as the energy or as the probability of a wave. It is only through the act of observation by an observer that it appears.

Albert Einstein creó su famosa ecuación E = mc2, que evidenció que la energía y la materia están tan inextricablemente ligadas que son lo mismo.

Chemistry is the dirty part of physics.

We physicists know that a beautiful postulate is more likely to be correct than an ugly one. Why not adopt this Postulate of Eternal Life, at least as a working hypothesis?

We know there is gravity because apples fall from trees. We can observe gravity in daily life. If we could throw an apple to the edge of the universe, we would observe it accelerating.

on using the word "physics" in the older sense. So as to forestall misunderstandings of the sort in question, it is better to acquiesce to the modern usage of "physics" and apply instead the label "philosophy of nature" to those aspects of Aristotle's account of the nature of the physical world that are still defensible today (as most contemporary Aristotelians and Thomists in fact do).

An erection is like the Theory of Relativity — the more you think about it, the harder it gets.

A biophysicist talks physics to the biologists and biology to the physicists, but then he meets another biophysicist, they just discuss women.

Because of the diamond in your coat pocket. Because I left it here to protect you. All it has done is put me in more danger. Then why hasn't the house been hit? Why hasn't it caught fire? It's a rock, Papa. A pebble. There is only luck, bad or good. Chance and physics. Remember? You are alive. I am only alive because I have not yet died.

The entropy of a closed system never decreases. Every process must by law decay.

There is only chance in this world, chance and physics.

The entropy of a closed system never decreases.

There is only chance in this world, chance and physics. Anyway

If the laws of physics worked, he would make it across. If they didn't, he would die. It was as simple as that.
