319 Physics Quotes for You to Enjoy

You can do yoga all day, you can run or bike or swim, but a pull-up will still be hard. It's not that you have to be a juiced-up 'lunk' to do one; it's a matter of physics. Kyle Hill

Day You Physics Matter Will All Day Run Still Yoga Bike Hard Swim

I'm a bit of a layman physics junkie. I don't really understand it, but I love trying to understand it. Laura San Giacomo

Love Physics Bit Layman Understand Trying Really

To the extent that we even understand string theory, it may imply a massive number of possible different universes with different laws of physics in each universe, and there may be no way of distinguishing between them or saying why the laws of physics are the way they are. And if I can predict anything, then I haven't explained anything. Lawrence M. Krauss

Saying Physics Predict Universe String Way String Theory Distinguishing Possible Laws Between Imply Massive Understand May Different Anything Explained Them Then Theory Even Each Why Extent Number Universes

I always liked movies, so I started writing for Hollywood, but my day job was physics. Leonard Mlodinow

Day Physics Writing Job Day Job Liked Always Movies Hollywood Started

In physics, all can you do is predict the consequences of physical laws. Leonard Mlodinow

You Physics Predict Consequences Physical Laws

I often feel a discomfort, a kind of embarrassment, when I explain elementary-particle physics to laypeople. It all seems so arbitrary - the ridiculous collection of fundamental particles, the lack of pattern to their masses. Leonard Susskind

Physics Embarrassment Kind Collection Arbitrary Seems Feel Particles Masses Discomfort Lack Often Pattern Explain Ridiculous Fundamental

Is the universe 'elegant,' as Brian Greene tells us? Not as far as I can tell, not the usual laws of particle physics, anyway. I think I might find the universal principles of String Theory most elegant - if I only knew what they were. Leonard Susskind

Physics Think Universe String String Theory Tell Tells Find Laws Only Knew Particle Most Principles Were As Far As Anyway Might Far Us Brian Theory Usual Elegant Universal

We all hate on ourselves way too much, and there are so many people who think they have to look like those women on TV. That's so unreasonable. Everybody is supposed to be a different size. And if I can just be confident in myself, then I'll look better. It's quantum physics! Lisa Ann Walter

Myself Women Hate People Physics Better Too Much Just Be Think Too Everybody Way Those Ourselves TV Unreasonable Like Supposed Look Quantum Quantum Physics Confident So Many People Just Different Size Then Much Who Many

I do theoretical particle physics. We're trying to understand the most basic structure of matter. And the way you do that is you have to look at really small distances. And to get to small distances, you need high energies. Lisa Randall

You Physics Matter Distances Way High Structure Small Particle Look Most Understand Get Trying Energies Really Theoretical Basic Need

The standard model of particle physics describes forces and particles very well, but when you throw gravity into the equation, it all falls apart. You have to fudge the figures to make it work. Lisa Randall

Work You Physics Throw Particle Particles Well Make Forces Equation Falls Very Model Apart Standard Figures Gravity

I was a physics topper in my school and used to encourage my juniors. Manushi Chhillar

Physics School Encourage Juniors Used

When I was a physics major in the late 1970s, my very few fellow female students and I had high hopes that women would soon stand equal with men in science. But progress has proved slower than many of us imagined. Margaret Wertheim

Science Women Physics Progress Men Few Late High Would Hopes Slower Students Had Soon Major Equal Fellow Female Proved Very Than Us Stand Many Imagined

Our next-door neighbour taught physics at Hampton University. Our church abounded with mathematicians. Supersonics experts held leadership positions in my mother's sorority, and electrical engineers sat on the board of my parents' college alumni associations. Margot Lee Shetterly

I tried out various experiments described in treatises on physics and chemistry, and the results were sometimes unexpected. At times, I would be encouraged by a little unhoped-for success; at others, I would be in the deepest despair because of accidents and failures resulting from my inexperience. Marie Curie

Success Physics Sometimes Chemistry Accidents Despair Others Out Would Would-Be Tried Various Resulting Results Failures Because Inexperience Were Encouraged Times Unexpected Experiments Little Deepest

I think about things like the fact that nobody knows what time is. Time is what? Nobody can describe it, even physics or math or anything else. But it is what we continuously experience. It's the state of our unfolding, in a way, and in that sense that the continuous reopening of reality is what I think of as, perhaps, a worldview. Marilynne Robinson

Time Experience Reality Physics Worldview Sense Think Else State Our Way About Fact Nobody Like Perhaps Knows Math Continuous Continuously Unfolding Anything Anything Else Describe Even Things

Ah, political physics. Someone wins an election and, poof, they are a candidate for vice president. Ridiculous. Mark McKinnon

Physics Political Election President Someone Wins Candidate Vice Vice President Ridiculous

Music pulled me like a gravitational force. I entered college as a physics major but left as a Bachelor of Music, a degree with the same practical application as, say, one in the History of Chinese Poetry. Marshall Brickman

Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws. Martin Rees

Science Physics Complicated Made Atoms Own Birds Waves Everything Those Solved Seek Laws Tropical Could Concepts Quantum Equations Quantum Physics Scientists However Forests Offer Autonomous Breaking Even Each Enlightenment

You won't see me writing about particle physics, or even planetary geology, or chemistry. I practically failed chemistry, and if I had to write a book in any of those areas, I don't think it would go well. Mary Roach
