"physics is the science of all the tremendously powerful invisibilities - of magnetism, electricity, gravity, light, sound, cosmic rays. physics is the science of the mysteries of the universe. How could anyone think it dull?" »Dick Francis, Twice Shy

"physics is to math what sex is to masturbation." »Richard Feynman
|
|
"All science is either physics or stamp collecting." »Ernest Rutherford
|
|
"Relativity applies to physics, not ethics." »Albert Einstein
|

"Geography is just physics slowed down, with a couple of trees stuck in it." »Terry Pratchet, The Last Continent
|
|
"We live in a Newtonian world of Einsteinian physics ruled by Frankenstein logic." »David Russell
|
|
"People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." »Albert Einstein
|
|
"It is impossible to trap modern physics into predicting anything with perfect determinism because it deals with probabilities from the outset." »Sir Arthur Eddington
|
|
"The Universe is a big ship and its captain is the Laws of Physics! The bad news is that there seems to be no safe harbour to dock and no lifeboats if we sink!" »Mehmet Murat ildan
|
|
"No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love" »Albert Einstein
|
|
"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
|
|
"A technique succeeds in mathematical physics, not by a clever trick, or a happy accident, but because it expresses some aspect of a physical truth." »O.G. Sutton
|
|
"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." »Albert Einstein

|
"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
|
|
"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
|
|
"physics does not change the nature of the world it studies, and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man, even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate their subject matters." »B. F. Skinner
|
|
"physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them." »Eugene Paul Wigner
