When I was younger, I read a book by Frank Barnaby, this wonderful nuclear physicist - he said that media had a responsibility, that all sectors of society had a responsibility to try and progress things and move things forward. And that fascinated me, because I'd been messing around with a camera most of my life. Jeremy Gilley

You can convert the teachers, and you can convert the kids, but if they go home saying they want to be a physicist, and the parents question why they would want to do that, then it makes it very difficult. Jocelyn Bell Burnell

Saying Home You Parents Difficult Kids Would Physicist Makes Go Go Home Question Very Want Convert Then Teachers Why

My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true. John Astin

I am sure that I have been much more useful to society as a medical physicist. John Cameron

Society More Physicist Sure Am Been Much Useful Medical

I began my career as a physicist. And in the White House, my buddies were the people from the White House office of science and technology policy. But a lot of the people were lawyers. They like winning an argument, but science-based, evidence-based reasoning was just sort of not in their framework. Joseph Stiglitz

Technology Science People Argument Science And Technology White White House Framework Lawyers Winning Physicist Buddies Like House Policy Sort Were Lot Began Office Just Reasoning Career

For a physicist or a mathematician, the most symmetrical object you could think about would be a sphere, because it looks identical no matter what you do to it, however you rotate it in any given direction. Lawrence M. Krauss

I went to college because my father thought that I should learn engineering, because he wanted to go into the heating business with me. There, I realized I wanted to be a physicist. I had to tell him, which was a somewhat traumatic experience. Leonard Susskind

I met Pierre Curie for the first time in the spring of the year 1894... A Polish physicist whom I knew, and who was a great admirer of Pierre Curie, one day invited us together to spend the evening with himself and his wife. Marie Curie

Time Day Great Together Wife First Met Year Spring Spend One Day Admirer Physicist Knew Invited Pierre Himself Polish First Time His Us Who Evening Whom

I'm a physicist, and we have something called Moore's Law, which says computer power doubles every 18 months. So every Christmas, we more or less assume that our toys and appliances are more or less twice as powerful as the previous Christmas. Michio Kaku

When I get bored, or get stuck on an equation, I like to go ice skating, but it makes you forget your problem. Then you can tackle the problem with a fresh new insight. Einstein liked to play the violin to relax. Every physicist likes to have a past time. Mine is ice skating. Michio Kaku

Time You Problem Relax Past Every Mine Bored Insight Tackle Physicist Stuck New Like Liked Likes Equation Makes Fresh Go Past Time Forget Get The Problem With Einstein Ice Skating Then Your Play Violin

The point is that the arts are important enough to have influenced the greatest minds and talents we know. Albert Einstein said that if he were not a physicist, he would probably be a musician. Mickey Hart

Important Enough Minds Musician Would Physicist Point He Talents Know Greatest Said Were Arts Influenced Einstein Albert Albert Einstein

The term 'renaissance man' is always bandied about. I don't think that applies to me. You think about Leonardo da Vinci, and he was a painter and a physicist and an architect, and that is a true renaissance man. Moby

Me You Man Think About Architect Physicist He True Term Renaissance Always Bandied Leonardo Leonardo Da Vinci Painter

As a theoretical physicist, I feel at once proud and humble at the thought of the illustrious figures that have preceded me here to receive the greatest of all honors in science, the Nobel prize. Murray Gell-Mann

Me Science Humble Thought Once Honors Physicist Nobel Nobel Prize Feel Greatest Proud Prize Theoretical Figures Illustrious Receive Here

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

Physics Pure Own Way Having Physicist Individual Studied He Primarily His Maths Up Australia Where Grew Thinks University

Because atomic behavior is so unlike ordinary experience, it is very difficult to get used to, and it appears peculiar and mysterious to everyone - both to the novice and to the experienced physicist. Richard P. Feynman

Experience Behavior Difficult Everyone Unlike Atomic Both Physicist Mysterious Because Very Get Experienced Ordinary Used Appears Novice Peculiar

I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. These experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. I think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality. Robert Lanza

Science Reality Physics Think Hundreds Ways Carried Out Telling Physicist Point Clearly Learn Sort Limitless Ultimate Been Questions End Very Times Just Experiments Us Really Consciousness Starting

My older brother is a distinguished theoretical physicist, a fellow of the Royal Society. Roger Penrose

Older Society Distinguished Brother Physicist Fellow Theoretical Older Brother Royal

Whenever you say you're a physicist, there's a certain fraction of people who immediately go, 'Oh, I hated physics in high school.' That's because of the terrible influence of high school physics. Because of it, most people think physics is all about inclined planes and force-vector diagrams. Sean M. Carroll

You People Physics School Think Say Immediately High Hated High School About Physicist Most Terrible Because Diagram Go Oh Whenever Influence Planes Certain Who Inclined Fraction

Although almost every theoretical physicist agrees with my prediction that a black hole should glow like a hot body, it would be very difficult to verify experimentally because the temperature of a macroscopic black hole is so low. Stephen Hawking

Black Difficult Every Would Would-Be Temperature Black Hole Physicist Hot Almost Like Although Because Glow Verify Very Hole Prediction Low Should Body Theoretical Agree

Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist. Walther Bothe

Exaggeration Physics Will Field Tools Say Physicist Without Method Modern Essential Large Many Therefore Found Nuclear Nuclear Physics Applications Coincidence

Basically, my mum and dad bought me a CD player for my 14th birthday. They didn't really listen to music at all, but my dad had a couple of tapes that he'd listen to, like Tom Lehrer. My dad was a physicist and Tom Lehrer was like this really weird Harvard class professor, who was really cool because he was also a satirist and pianist. KT Tunstall
