18 Quantum Mechanics Quotes for You to Enjoy

It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent. Richard P. Feynman

Algebra Dissimilar Approaches Fact Quantum Equation Quantum Mechanics Equivalent Proved Were Mathematical Mathematically Historical Historical Fact Matrix Began Curious Modern Quite Different Apparently Mechanics Differential Two

Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well. Roy H. Williams

Typically in science, individual scientists make up their minds about scientific fact or theory one at a time. We don't take votes. We just don't vote on quantum mechanics, the theory of relativity, why the sky is blue, or anything else. Alan Stern

Time Vote Science Sky Else Minds Relativity About Fact Individual Take Votes Make Make Up Quantum Scientific Quantum Mechanics Scientific Fact Scientists Up Blue Just Anything Anything Else Theory Mechanics Why

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works. Antony Garrett Lisi

Mathematics Universe Our Quantum Quantum Mechanics How Very Accurately Works Mechanics

In relativity, movement is continuous, causally determinate and well defined, while in quantum mechanics it is discontinuous, not causally determinate and not well defined. David Bohm

Relativity Defined Well Quantum Quantum Mechanics Continuous Movement While Mechanics

Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. String theory does so again because a point particle is replaced by a string, which is more spread out. Edward Witten

I finished up my graduate degree in quantum mechanics, but underwent a bit of a personal crisis, recognizing that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. It was too abstract, too far removed from human concerns. Francis Collins

What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum mechanics you are forced to conclude that God exists. Frank Tipler

God You Physics Long Universe Relativity General General Relativity Forced Forces Quantum Conclude Quantum Mechanics Continue Exist Exists Show Using Mechanics

If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so. James Lovelock

For the record: Quantum mechanics does not deny the existence of objective reality. Nor does it imply that mere thoughts can change external events. Effects still require causes, so if you want to change the universe, you need to act on it. Lawrence M. Krauss

Thoughts You Change Reality Events Universe Record Objective Mere Imply Quantum Quantum Mechanics Does Still Causes Nor Existence Effects Deny Want Require Act Mechanics External Need

The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding. Martin Fleischmann

Problem Demanding Field Quantum Quantum Mechanics Still Very Replacement Theory Mechanics

If we look at the way the universe behaves, quantum mechanics gives us fundamental, unavoidable indeterminacy, so that alternative histories of the universe can be assigned probability. Murray Gell-Mann

Universe Way Unavoidable Gives Look Alternative Quantum Quantum Mechanics Histories Behaves Probability Us Mechanics Fundamental Assigned

Now, what that means is that there is fundamental indeterminacy from quantum mechanics, but besides that there are other sources of effective indeterminacy. Murray Gell-Mann

Other Besides Quantum Quantum Mechanics Sources Effective Means Mechanics Now Fundamental

The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. Paul Davies

Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are both accepted as scientific fact even though they're mutually exclusive. Albert Einstein spent the second half of his life searching for a unifying truth that would reconcile the two. Roy H. Williams

In 1924, I became a Dozent in Gottingen and worked out the quantum mechanics during a holiday stay on Heligoland. Werner Heisenberg
