I'm fascinated with quantum physics.
Men wanted to be strong. One way to be strong was to be knowledgeable. In so many areas, it was not possible to be knowledgeable without getting a Ph.D. and doing a postdoc. Guns and hunting provided an out for men who wanted to be know-it-alls but w...
Both [Quine and Feyerabend] want to revise a version of positivism. Quine started with the Vienna Circle, and Feyerabend with the Copenhagen school of quantum mechanics. Both the Circle and the school have been called children of Ernst Mach; if so, t...
Without the possibility of error and real indeterminacy implied by the quantum theory, human liberty is meaningless.
The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a clas...
I once pitched this show that was just like 'Quantum Leap,' in terms of the set-up, and I got a pass because they said 'Quantum Leap' didn't work, even though it was on for six or seven seasons. You can't say 'Quantum Leap' didn't work!
Many things are mechanical and should remain mechanical. But mechanical thoughts, mechanical feelings—that is what has to be studied and can and should be changed. Mechanical thinking is not worth a penny. You can think about many things mechanical...
The illusion is we are only physical.
I am fascinated by quantum physics.
Papagallo: [Mechanic has just rattled off a long list of things wrong with the big rig] Well, what does all that mean? Zetta: Yeah, okay, but what does that mean? Mechanic's Assistant: [to the Mechanic] What does that mean? Mechanic: 24 hours. Mechan...
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining.
There is no hospitality like understanding.
Which came first — the observer or the particle?
Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.
The more we delve into quantum mechanics the stranger the world becomes; appreciating this strangeness of the world, whilst still operating in that which you now consider reality, will be the foundation for shifting the current trajectory of your lif...
Scientists, therefore, are responsible for their research, not only intellectually but also morally. This responsibility has become an important issue in many of today's sciences, but especially so in physics, in which the results of quantum mechanic...
Another very good test some readers may want to look up, which we do not have space to describe here, is the Casimir effect, where forces between metal plates in empty space are modified by the presence of virtual particles. Thus virtual particles ar...
Should a priest reject relativity because it contains no authoritative exposition on the doctrine of the Trinity? Once you realize that the Bible does not purport to be a textbook of science, the old controversy between religion and science vanishes ...
Quantum phenomena do not occur in a space. They occur in a laboratory.
The people knew what had made them human. It was not their shortcomings, but their hearts.
