Quotes by Physics Children need to be exploring their physical world. They need to be learning the fundamental laws of physics by manipulating objects. David Perlmutter learningphysicschildrenworld Modern low temperature physics began with the liquefaction of helium by Kamerlingh Onnes and the discovery of superconductivity at the University of Leiden in the early part of the 20th century. David Lee lowuniversityphysicsdiscovery Most of physics is about energy, and physicists understand inefficiencies. I wanted to write a book about our energy options in a neutral, human-accessible form. David J. C. MacKay understandphysicsenergybook From the age of 13, I was attracted to physics and mathematics. My interest in these subjects derived mostly from popular science books that I read avidly. David Gross mathematicsphysicsagescience Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition. David Gross 1920squantumtraditionphysics We need senators who have studied physics and representatives who understand ecology. Vera Rubin needwhounderstandphysics Laws of physics don't necessarily apply to real-life political situations. Amit Shah applylawsphysicspolitical The 'science' in 'science fiction' isn't just physics and engineering. It can also be linguistics, anthropology, and psychology. Ann Leckie justengineeringphysicsscience I studied physics 12 in summer school after I completed grade 12. Did I enjoy it initially? No, I had found physics difficult since grade 11, and I struggled a lot. Did I learn from it? Yes, and as I improved, I started enjoying it more. Ann Makosinski difficultenjoyphysicsschool I work in string theory. This is a branch of physics which assumes that the elementary objects in the universe are not particles but one-dimensional objects, that is, strings. Ashoke Sen universephysicstheorywork Doing physics is a lot of fun if you like it. Ashoke Sen doingyouphysicsfun In theoretical physics, one can, in principle, work from anyplace as long as one has a computer and Internet connection. So I do not find any disadvantage of being in Allahabad. Ashoke Sen internetphysicsworklong I had been interested in particle physics, which deals with the fundamental constituents of matter. Ashoke Sen whichbeenphysicsmatter I chose to pursue a career in physics because there the truth isn't so easily bent. Angela Merkel careerbecausephysicstruth What is important about graphene is the new physics it has delivered. Andre Geim aboutnewphysicsimportant Ernest Rutherford's 1908 Nobel Prize in Chemistry wasn't given for the nuclear power station - he wouldn't have survived that long - it was given for showing how interesting atomic physics could be. Andre Geim chemistryphysicspowerlong A rainbow is the product of physics working for your appreciation of beauty. Kyle Hill rainbowphysicsappreciationbeauty Semiconductor research and the Nobel Prize in physics seem to be contradictory since one may come to the conclusion that such a complicated system like a semiconductor is not useful for very fundamental discoveries. Klaus von Klitzing likephysicsresearchcomplicated The essential point is that, although coordinates are a powerful, and sometimes essential, tool in many calculations, the fundamental laws of physics can be expressed without the aid of coordinates; and, indeed, their coordinate-free expressions are generally elegant and exceedingly powerful. Kip Thorne withoutphysicspowerfulsometimes We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes the uncertainties in that warping and how they change.
