Theoretical Quotes

I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy. Max Born
Physics Philosophy Am Convinced Theoretical Now Actually
The theoretical understanding of the world, which is the aim of philosophy, is not a matter of great practical importance to animals, or to savages, or even to most civilised men. Bertrand Russell
Great World Matter Men Animals Understanding Aim Philosophy Civilised Importance Most Practical Which Theoretical Even Savages
Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea. Richard P. Feynman
Beautiful Achievement Physics Space Single Relations Resulted Exciting Idea Greatest Said Geometry Einstein Which Theoretical Theory Connecting Gravitational Phenomena
Mental illness, of course, is not literally a 'thing' - or physical object - and hence it can 'exist' only in the same sort of way in which other theoretical concepts exist. Thomas Szasz
Other Way Physical Object Mental Mental Illness Only Concepts Sort Course Exist Same Literally Which Theoretical Illness Hence Thing
I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe. Adam Pascal
Science Physics Universe Always Gotten Been Years Five Really Theoretical Origins Last
To a theoretical physicist, there is no greater joy than to see that this curious activity we call calculation - the depositing of ink on paper, followed by throwing away the paper and depositing new ink on more paper - can actually tell us something about reality. Alan Guth
Reality Joy Paper Tell See Followed About Something More Physicist Throwing New Calculation Call Greater Than Curious Us Theoretical Activity Away Ink Actually
My mom is an experimental chemist and physicist, so she is a cut-and-dried, nuts-and-bolts kind of woman, and my dad is a theoretical chemist, so we were definitely raised with his philosophical point of view: imaginary numbers and dimensions beyond our own. That's the kind of thing we would talk about. Andrew Sean Greer
Mom Woman Own Our Philosophical Definitely Dimensions Kind Would About Physicist Point Point Of View Beyond Talk She Chemist Were His Experimental View Theoretical Dad Thing Imaginary Raised Numbers
A good theoretical account must explain all of the evidence that we see. If it doesn't work everywhere, we have no idea what we are talking about, and all is chaos. Angus Deaton
Work Good Chaos Everywhere Evidence Must See No Idea About Idea Talking Account Explain Theoretical
In theoretical physics, one can, in principle, work from anyplace as long as one has a computer and Internet connection. So I do not find any disadvantage of being in Allahabad. Ashoke Sen
Work Physics Internet Long Find Computer Disadvantage Principle Any Being Theoretical Connection
There are no excuses for theoretical physicists not to perform and deliver. Ashoke Sen
Physicists Deliver Perform Excuses Theoretical
Theoretical physics hardly requires any research funding, so I never felt the need. The overall government and institutional support has been good enough for my work. Ashoke Sen
Work Government Good Physics Research Enough Has-Been Never Support Overall Institutional Felt Been Any Requires Theoretical Hardly Funding Need
Black holes provide theoreticians with an important theoretical laboratory to test ideas. Conditions within a black hole are so extreme, that by analyzing aspects of black holes we see space and time in an exotic environment, one that has shed important, and sometimes perplexing, new light on their fundamental nature. Brian Greene
Time Nature Sometimes Light Space Black Important Analyzing Extreme Black Hole See Black Holes Environment New Ideas Shed Within Test Provide Perplexing Conditions Exotic Laboratory Space And Time Hole Holes Aspects Theoretical Fundamental
The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story based on who's embodying it. Cary Fukunaga
You Casting Part Versions Different Story Movies Really Theoretical Many Based Imagine
So instead of talking about theoretical ways of ending the war and violence, I say that we have to get rid of the individual asholes in each office and situation. Colin Quinn
War Ending Situation Say Ways About Individual Instead Talking Office Get Theoretical Rid Each Violence
This kind of overall way of thinking is not only a fertile source of new theoretical ideas: it is needed for the human mind to function in a generally harmonious way, which could in turn help to make possible an orderly and stable society. David Bohm
Mind Society Thinking Harmonious Way Possible Kind Only Could Generally New Overall Ideas Make Source Fertile Stable Human Orderly Which Turn Human Mind Theoretical Help Function Needed
Actually, I was more or less determined to be a theoretical physicist at the age of thirteen. David Gross
Age Determined More More Or Less Physicist Theoretical Less Actually Thirteen
All the questions discussed in the Talmud and related rabbinic literature are normative questions: either they are questions of what one is to think or what one is to do. Every prescribed thought has some practical implication; every prescribed act has some theoretical implication. David Novak
Thought Every Think Related Some Implication Practical Talmud Questions Discussed Either Literature Act Theoretical Prescribed
We do not need a heavy theoretical thumb on the scales. What's important is how the traditional sources of law and legal interpretation - text, structure, history, canons of interpretation, precedent, and other well-established tools of the judicial craft - are prioritized, weighted, and applied. Diane S. Sykes
History Legal Law Important Interpretation Other Tools Scales Structure Thumb Weighted Judicial How Traditional Sources Text Precedent Craft Heavy Canon Theoretical Applied Need
In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely! Edmund Husserl
Natural Few Changed Ancient Reconstruction Archetypes Habit Perfection Sciences Mathematical Decades Natural Sciences Theoretical Even
A healthy economics has got to have both conceptual, theoretical research and applied, empirical research. Edmund Phelps
Economics Healthy Research Both Empirical Conceptual Got Theoretical Applied
The line of least resistance in the progress of civilization is to make that theoretical postulate real by the continually increasing force of the world's public opinion. Elihu Root
World Progress Increasing Civilization Force Make Opinion Least Real Continually Line Public Theoretical Public Opinion Resistance
Although they can do it all the time, you know, they're far better than me, on a musically, on a theoretical music level. You know, they're out of my league. Eric Clapton
Music Time Me You Better Musically Out League Know Although Than Far Theoretical Level
Life is not a theoretical problem to be solved in class. Esther McVey
Life Class Problem Solved Theoretical
In 1955, I got my degree in electrical-mechanical engineering. I realised, however, that my interest was less in practical applications than in the understanding of the underlying theoretical structure, and I decided to learn physics. Francois Englert
Physics Degree Understanding Engineering Structure Practical Underlying Learn Got However Than Decided Realised Interest Theoretical Less Applications
The more there is a European solution to a theoretical, but possible, problem in the markets, the less we will have to talk about an I.M.F. solution. George Papandreou
Problem Will Markets Possible Solution About More Talk Theoretical Less European
When computers came along, I felt for the first time that I had the proper tools for the kind of theoretical work I wanted to do. So I moved over to that, and that got me into psychology. Herbert A. Simon
Work Time Me First Tools Kind Proper Computers Had Over Along Felt First Time Got Came Moved Wanted Psychology Theoretical
