The financial sector has so distorted salaries that physicists are getting drawn into the financial sector. All that has led to an undersupply of people committed to the public sector. Joseph Stiglitz

Symmetry does mean something different for physicists than for members of the public. It means that an object or a theory does not change when you make some transformation - either rotating or moving it or doing something to the equations. Lawrence M. Krauss

Physicists have yet to understand why the Higgs boson's mass is what it is. Lisa Randall

Physicists Mass Understand Why

The Cern laboratory in Geneva was set up in 1955 to bring together European scientists who wished to pursue research into the nuclear and sub-nuclear world. Physicists then had greater clout than other scientists because the memory of their role in the Second World War was fresh in people's minds. Martin Rees

War Together Memory People World Research Other Minds Physicists Pursue Had Wished Geneva Greater Because Fresh Scientists Up Laboratory Than Role Clout Then Who European Nuclear Second Bring World War Set Second World War

I confess I sometimes sneak a peek at 'The Big Bang Theory.' I chuckle at their antics. But I cringe when they portray physicists as clueless nerds who are doormats when it comes to picking up women. Michio Kaku

Women Sometimes Big Peek Chuckle Cringe Nerds Physicists Picking Big Bang Sneak Up Confess Bang Clueless Theory Who Portray

We physicists don't like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that's when we got interested in science, for a lot of us. Michio Kaku

Science Hate Fans Some Admit Physicists Like Because Science Fiction Got Sounds Were Undignified Lot Closet Children Fiction Interested Us

Physicists are working on the Big Bang, and one day they may or may not solve it. Richard Dawkins

Day Big One Day Solve Physicists Big Bang Bang May Working

With the exception of gravitation and radioactivity, all of the phenomena known to physicists and chemists in 1911 have their ultimate explanation in the laws of quantum electrodynamics. Richard P. Feynman

I think that we scientists are seeking an understanding of the natural world. We come in various types - chemists and physicists and biologists and such - and we all have the same goal. We are making progress. Sheldon Lee Glashow

Natural World Progress Understanding Think Types Seeking Various Physicists Come Making Scientists Goal Same Natural World Biologists

There are physicists, and there are string theorists. Of course the string theorists are physicists, but the string theorists in general will not attend lectures on experimental physics. They will not be terribly concerned about the results of experiments. They will talk to one another. Sheldon Lee Glashow

Physics Will String About General Physicists Results Attend Talk Concerned Terribly Another Course Lectures Experimental Experiments

At the peak of his scientific triumphs, Newton became a 'head,' a student of the inner spiritual world - or in modern terms, a neurologician. Modern physicists do not dwell on this dramatic life-change in their hero. Timothy Leary

Spiritual World Hero Dramatic Triumphs Spiritual World Physicists Student Head Terms Became Scientific His Modern Dwell Newton Peak Inner

The German physicists knew at least so much about the manufacture and construction of atomic bombs that it was clear to them that the manufacture of bombs in Germany could not succeed during the war. For this reason, they were spared the moral decision whether they should make an atomic bomb, and they had only worked on the uranium engine. Werner Heisenberg

War Construction Decision Moral About Atomic Atomic Bomb Only Physicists Could Had Clear Knew Make Least Were German Germany Whether Uranium Succeed Them Spared Worked Much Should Engine Manufacture Reason Bomb Bombs

Reports in Washington show that our reasoning was just like that of your physicists. With all this information available, at least to privileged persons, I cannot understand why it is generally held in the United States that we completely missed the basic principle of the bomb until after Hiroshima. Werner Heisenberg

Our States Physicists Generally Missed Like Until Principle Understand Least Hiroshima Privileged Reports Just After Cannot Information Available Persons Held Your Show Reasoning Washington United Bomb Why United States Basic
