Quotes by Physics I don't. We've had three technological revolutions that have changed the course of human history, all driven by physics. In the first, the industrial revolution, physicists developed Newtonian mechanics and thermodynamics, which gave us the steam engine and machine power. The second technological revolution was the electricity revolution. That gave us radio, television, and telecommunications. Then, physicists developed the laser and the transistor. Michio Kaku mechanic revolution physics I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics. Michel de Montaigne metaphysics physics study Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology. Micky Dolenz quantum physics kids We are not at the end but at the beginning of a new physics. But whatever we find, there will always be new horizons continually awaiting us. Michio Kaku new-horizons physics ends I would hope that the publicity around the Higgs boson would increase the public awareness of physics and cosmology. Michio Kaku publicity physics awareness Pablo Picasso said, "Art is the lie that tells the truth," and it's not a terribly radical statement. It's always been that you can tell truth through fiction. And this idea also comes from nuclear physics. Momus physics lying art What is especially striking and remarkable is that in fundamental physics a beautiful or elegant theory is more likely to be right than a theory that is inelegant. Murray Gell-Mann physics fundamentals beautiful Think how hard physics would be if particles could think Murray Gell-Mann physics would-be thinking I do not keep up with the details of particle physics. Murray Gell-Mann particle-physics details physics The physics of water is central to cooking, because food is mostly water. All steak that you cook is actually boiled on the inside. Nathan Myhrvold physics cooking water Ultimately, my Ph.D. is in mathematical physics, focusing on quantum field theory and curved space-time, and I worked with Stephen Hawking. Nathan Myhrvold physics space fields There is no true understanding of Biology without Chemistry. And there's no true understanding of Chemistry without Physics. Neil deGrasse Tyson chemistry physics understanding Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong. Neil Turok quantum hardest physics Physics is the only profession in which prophecy is not only accurate but routine. Neil deGrasse Tyson prophecy routine physics As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn't make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to scientists. Nicholas Stern physics math trying Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It's whole universes coming into and out of existence. Neil deGrasse Tyson fluctuation quantum physics Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real. Niels Bohr quantum physics real Physics is the belief that a simple and consistent description of nature is possible. Niels Bohr physics belief simple How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress. Niels Bohr progress physics thinking Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it.
