The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding.
Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic.
Quantum field theory was originally developed for the treatment of electrodynamics, immediately after the completion of quantum mechanics and the discovery of the Dirac equation.
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.
There's a lot of things I nerd out over. Quantum Mechanics. I also love Dungeons and Dragons. I want to be an astronaut.
Nothing can create something all the time due to the laws of quantum mechanics, and it's - it's fascinatingly interesting.
I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.
The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.
There are a lot of mysteries about quantum mechanics, but they mostly arise in very detailed measurements in controlled settings.
Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective indeterminacy.
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
The development of quantum mechanics early in the twentieth century obliged physicists to change radically the concepts they used to describe the world.
In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined.
Feynman once said, 'Science is imagination in a straitjacket.' It is ironic that in the case of quantum mechanics, the people without the straitjackets are generally the nuts.
Einstein said that if quantum mechanics were correct then the world would be crazy. Einstein was right - the world is crazy.
The math of quantum mechanics and the math of general relativity, when they confront one another, they are ferocious antagonists and the equations don't work.
Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition.
If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the universe can be assigned probability.
Nikola Tesla teaches us to look within without looking at the entirety of the seeable universe. When we do this we're tapping into the unseen and unknowable quantum mechanics of the universe.
The role of gender in society is the most complicated thing I’ve ever spent a lot of time learning about, and I’ve spent a lot of time learning about quantum mechanics.
