88 Quantum Quotes for You to Enjoy

I just felt that you can't have a character fall in love so madly as they did in the last movie and not finish it off, understand it, get some closure. That's why the movie is called 'Quantum of Solace' - that's exactly what he's looking for. Daniel Craig

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 computation is... a distinctively new way of harnessing nature... It will be the first technology that allows useful tasks to be performed in collaboration between parallel universes. David Deutsch

Nature Technology Will First Harnessing Collaboration Way Parallel Be The First Computation Between Performed New Quantum Tasks New Way Useful Universes

When I was at Berkeley, the framework of quantum field theory could calculate the dynamics of electromagnetism. It could roughly describe the motion of the weak nuclear force, radiation. But it hit a brick wall with the strong interaction, the binding force. David Gross

After I finished my degree in India in 1980, I came to the U.S. to get a master's, and I was teaching quantum physics to freshmen. As I got my bearings as to what goes on in labs, I understood that to teach, you have to learn. Dinesh Paliwal

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

Often, some people dress something up to make it sound scientific, use scientific words, call themselves doctor something-or-other, and then you look them up, and they're trying to make it sound like something it's not. There's this entire field that's adding the word 'quantum' to everything. It doesn't even make sense in that context. Elise Andrew

You People Doctor Words Word Some People Sense Field Adding Everything Dress Some Entire Something Like Look Make Call Quantum Scientific Sound Context Up Trying Often Them Themselves Then Use Even

The mathematical framework of quantum theory has passed countless successful tests and is now universally accepted as a consistent and accurate description of all atomic phenomena. Erwin Schrodinger

Framework Consistent Atomic Countless Accepted Quantum Passed Mathematical Tests Accurate Successful Theory Description Now Phenomena Universally

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

Future generations will know there's nothing mystical about wetware because by 2100, Moore's law will have given us tiny quantum computers powerful enough to upload a human soul. Frank Tipler

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

In science fiction, basic doubts featured prominently in the worlds of Philip K. Dick. I knew Phil for 25 years, and he was always getting onto me, a scientist. He was a great fan of quantum uncertainty, epistemology in science, the lot. Gregory Benford

Great Me Science Philip Worlds Uncertainty Featured Onto He Knew Science Fiction Quantum Always Scientist Years Lot Getting Fiction Fan Epistemology Doubts Basic Phil

You need virtual reality to understand high level science or high level math. It's very helpful to explain third and fourth dimensional things that people are constantly addressing in quantum physics. But, as soon as you're creating an avatar, and you can live and you can start to feel sensations on VR, that has gone too far. Jaden Smith

You Science Reality People Physics Gone Live Too Virtual Virtual Reality Addressing High High Level Constantly Feel Soon Quantum Understand Quantum Physics Math Very Sensations Explain Avatar Far Creating Helpful Level Things Start Fourth Need Third

I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities. James Dashner

Physics Possibility Alternate Quantum Quantum Physics Always Been Realities Fascinated

I take the view that we all have permission to be a little baffled by quantum information science and algorithmic information theory. James Gleick

Science Take Baffled Quantum Permission Information Little View Theory

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

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

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

Typically my ideas come to me in the most inane ways possible. I had the initial idea for 'Quantum Conundrum' while I was walking down the street to get breakfast. People are like, 'Whoa, what's your inspiration, is it something amazing?' No, I was just really hungry. Kim Swift

Me People Amazing Breakfast Down Whoa Ways Hungry Possible Something Inspiration Had Idea Come Like Ideas Most Quantum Walking Get Just While Really Your Initial Street

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

Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? And, you know, everybody has their own idea about what it is, but there's no coherent final consensus on why there is space. Leonard Susskind

You Space Devil Own Fluctuate Everybody Final About Idea Know Quantum Vibrate Mechanical Why Consensus Coherent

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

Practically and commercially speaking, a dollar is not necessarily a specific thing, made of silver, or gold, or any other single metal, or substance. It is only such a quantum of market value as exists in a given piece of silver or gold. Lysander Spooner
