"It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset." »Sir Arthur Eddington
|
|
"There are children playing in the street who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago." »Julius Robert Oppenheimer

"It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry." »H.L. Mencken

"It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that the Internet has evolved into a force strong enough to reflect the greatest hopes and fears of those who use it. After all, it was designed to withstand nuclear war, not just the puny huffs and puffs of politicians and religious fanatics." »Denise Caruso

|
"In science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms." »Stephen Jay Gould
