The goddess Physics was Stephen's idol. I was not jealous of her, but she did give me some cause for concern. Jane Hawking

Jealous Me Physics Cause Goddess Some Give Give Me Concern She Idol Did Her

Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics. Jean M. Auel

We were making the first step out of the age of chemistry and physics, and into the age of biology. Jeremy Rifkin

Age Physics First Chemistry Biology Out Step First Step Making Were

Experimental high energy physics research is a group effort. I have been very fortunate to have had outstanding students and colleagues who have made invaluable contributions to the research with which I have been associated. Jerome Isaac Friedman

Physics Made Energy Research Group Colleagues High High Energy Invaluable Students Had Outstanding Been Very Effort Contributions Experimental Which Fortunate Who Group Effort Associated

Government is like physics, you know - for every action, there's a reaction. Jesse Ventura

Government You Physics Action Every Like Know Reaction

We are the laws of chemistry and physics as they have played out here on Earth, and we are now learning that planets are as common as stars. Most stars, as it turns out now, will have planets. Jill Tarter

Learning Physics Will Chemistry Stars Earth Out Out Here Laws Most Common Planets Turns Now Played Here

If you look at other countries, you'll find lots of girls doing physics, engineering, and science. It's something to do with the kind of culture we have in the English-speaking world about what's appropriate for each of the two sexes. Jocelyn Bell Burnell

There are some countries where there is not an issue with women in physics. Malaysia, for example, has physics departments where 60 per cent of undergraduates are female, and France and Italy are strong, too. It is not about ability but more about what the culture says is appropriate. Jocelyn Bell Burnell

Culture Women Physics Strong Example Too Appropriate France Says Ability Some Per About More Countries For Example Female Issue Malaysia Italy Departments Where Cent

People are suspicious of science. They see it as being responsible for problems like the degradation of our climate. There is also a strand in society that says physics is terribly hard. Jocelyn Bell Burnell

Science People Physics Problems Society Our Says Responsible Degradation See Like Also Terribly Climate Suspicious Being Strand Being Responsible Hard

I think failing the qualifying or the 11-plus actually hurt me more than I realised. After I'd become a professor of physics at the Open University, I suddenly thought, 'This is a bit silly.' So I suddenly became much more open about it. But I think probably I was hurt by the failure and didn't want to talk about it. Jocelyn Bell Burnell

Me Failure Hurt Physics Thought Become Think Bit Silly About More Open Failing Talk Qualifying Became Than Want After Realised Much Suddenly Professor Actually University

Politics follows the lines of physics: every action creates an equal and opposite reaction. John Avlon

Politics Physics Action Every Follows Equal Reaction Opposite Lines Creates

I was not paying attention during physics in high school; I was wondering if I was going to be cast in 'Pippin.' John Benjamin Hickey

Physics School High High School Cast Attention Wondering Going Paying

Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not? John Cleese

Physics Believe Possible Never Bag Weird Weird Things Days Sci-Fi Quantum Quantum Physics Been Lot Really Why Why Not Things

How many of you have broken no laws this month? That's the kind of society I want to build. I want a guarantee - with physics and mathematics, not with laws - that we can give ourselves real privacy of personal communications. John Gilmore

Mathematics Broken You Privacy Physics Build Society Month Ourselves Kind Give Laws How Real Personal Want Communications Many Guarantee

My latter schooldays and my university days were during the war, when science - physics, in particular - was a very important and glamorous subject. A lot of us felt that if we couldn't get into science, we might try engineering or medicine. John Henry Carver

So Whitehead's metaphysics doesn't fit very well on to physics as we understand the process of the world. John Polkinghorne

Physics World Well Understand Metaphysics Fit Very Process

I grew up wanting to be a musician, but my parents were sure I would starve to death. So, they put me in physics and chemistry. That eventually blew up, and I got into radio. John Tesh

Death Me Physics Parents Chemistry Starve Musician Would Put Blew Sure Got Were Up Grew Wanting Radio Eventually

Science works because the phenomenon being described can be relied on to remain the same. Even in quantum physics, where phenomena are changed by observation, the way in which observation interferes is regular and falls within a limited range of possibilities. Human culture, however, has the nasty habit of never staying the same for very long. Julian Baggini

Science Culture Physics Long Changed Way Range Possibilities Staying Habit Remain Never Observation Because Within Quantum Limited Quantum Physics Nasty However Falls Very Same Human Being Where Which Regular Interferes Works Even Phenomena Phenomenon

I've learned that I've just barely scratched the surface of knowledge of the profession, and I have deep envy of and appreciation for filmmakers who really, truly understand the physics, the design of filmmaking. They can do story and color and composition and geometry and math and science all at once. Julie Plec

Knowledge Appreciation Science Physics Envy Design Once Composition Color Learned Understand Surface Geometry Math Math And Science Truly Scratched Just Story Really Barely Who Profession Deep Filmmakers Filmmaking

Louis Armstrong is quite simply the most important person in American music. He is to 20th century music (I did not say jazz) what Einstein is to physics. Ken Burns

You watch an old 'Jeopardy!' and the categories alone are very plain. 'Poetry,' or 'Movies,' or 'Physics.' If you watch it now, though, there'll be a theme board where the categories are all Hitchcock movies. Lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions. Ken Jennings

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
