Quotes by Physics Would physics at Geneva be as good as physics at Harvard? I think not. Rome? I think not. In Britain, I don't think there is one place, neither Cambridge nor Oxford, which can compare with Harvard. Sheldon Lee Glashow placegoodthinkphysics One of the principal achievements of physics in the 20th century has been the revelation that the atom is not indivisible or elementary at all but has a complex structure. Sheldon Lee Glashow complexprincipalstructurephysics I got bored with the topic; I felt this was 19th century physics. I was wondering if there was still something profound that could be made with light microscopy. So I saw that the diffraction barrier was the only important problem that had been left over. Stefan Hell physicsimportantlightproblem I was already studying physics, but Sputnik steered me toward space, cosmology, the Big Bang, and elementary particles. Stanley Wojcicki studyingmephysicsspace Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants. Richard P. Feynman joblikephysicsspecial I was not an especially diligent student but nevertheless obtained a reasonable education in physics. Robert Coleman Richardson studentreasonablephysicseducation I like to study a lot of math, physics, and the Bible, too. For me, they all show that there's a lot more to things than we see. Rodney Mullen seemephysicsbible Physics is based on the assumption that certain fundamental features of nature are constant. Rupert Sheldrake constantcertainphysicsnature In the late '30's when I was in college, physics - and in particular, nuclear physics - was the most exciting field in the world. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow latephysicscollegeworld I got an assistantship in physics at the University of Illinois, and I tore up my steno books. Rosalyn Sussman Yalow booksupuniversityphysics Following Rice, I went to Caltech for a Ph.D in physics, without any strong idea of what I wanted to do for a thesis topic. Robert Woodrow Wilson withoutthesisphysicsstrong There is a close analogy between organic chemistry in its relation to biochemistry and pure mathematics in its relation to physics. Robert Robinson purechemistrymathematicsphysics It was at this moment that I wrote my first important paper in theoretical physics. I was 32 years old, 5 years beyond the alleged age of senility for theorists. Robert B. Laughlin momentphysicsimportantage The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this. Ralph Merkle somethingsphysicstechnology Julian Assange is self-consciously an individual. He thinks in his own way, primarily as a physicist, having studied pure maths and physics at university in Australia where he grew up. Nick Davies ownuniversityphysicsway Physiology is the science which treats of the properties of organic bodies, animal and vegetable, of the phenomena they present, and of the laws which govern their actions. Inorganic substances are the objects of other sciences, - physics and chemistry. Johannes P. Muller chemistryphysicsanimalscience The grounding in natural sciences which I obtained in the course of my medical studies, including preliminary examinations in botany, zoology, physics, and chemistry, was to become decisive in determining the trend of my literary work. Johannes Vilhelm Jensen medicalchemistryphysicswork Nuclear physics is interesting but it is unlikely to help society. John Cameron helpphysicssocietyinteresting Medical physics is an applied area of physics. John Cameron appliedareamedicalphysics Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.
