Quantum Quips

Over 100 quotations from the top thinkers in physics, including:

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."- Albert Einstein

"Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics."- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

"Not only is the Universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think."- Werner Heisenberg

"The 'paradox' is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality 'ought to be.' "- Richard Feynman

"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

"Quantum theory was split up into dialects. Different people describe the same experiences in remarkably different languages. This is confusing even to physicists."- David Finkelstein

"Quantum physics tells us that no matter how thorough our observation of the present, the (unobserved) past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities."- Stephen Hawking
