Relativity. Gravity. Quantum. Electrodynamics. Evolution. Each of these theories is true, whether or not you believe in them. -- Neil deGrasse Tyson
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 nothing that is observed is unaffected by the observer. That statement, from science, holds an enormous and powerful insight. It means that everyone sees a different truth because everyone is creating what they see. -- Neale Donald Walsch
Common sense has no place in Quantum Mechanics. -- Michio Kaku
I am a Quantum Engineer, but on Sundays I Have Principles. -- John Stewart Bell

The problem is that replacement of Quantum Mechanics by Quantum Field Theory is still very demanding. -- Martin Fleischmann
Quantum fiction is any story that witnesses life and the human experience on a subatomic level. -- Vanna Bonta
Solipsism may be logically consistent with present Quantum Mechanics, Monism in the sense of Materialism is not. -- Eugene Wigner

The Quantum Universe has a quotation from me in every chapter - but it's a damn good book anyway. -- Richard P. Feynman
The law of attraction is the law of creation. Quantum physicists tell us that the entire Universe emerged from thought! -- Rhonda Byrne
Quantum mechanics is so counter-intuitive, physicists have never been able to come up with a comfortable picture of how it works. -- Taner Edis
Quantum mechanics broke the mold of the previous framework, classical mechanics, by establishing that the predictions of science are necessarily probabilistic. -- Brian Greene
--
Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong. -- Neil Turok
There's a lot of things I nerd out over. Quantum Mechanics. I also love Dungeons and Dragons. I want to be an astronaut. -- Analeigh Tipton
Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong, -- Neil Turok
After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that had seemed so crazy suddenly made much more sense. -- Werner Heisenberg
Einstein was searching for String Theory. It not only reconciles General Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, but it reconciles Science and the Bible as well. -- Roy H. Williams
Quantum physics is no longer an abstract theory for specialists. We must now absolutely include it in our education and also in our culture. -- Claude Cohen-Tannoudji
If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them. -- Niels Bohr
After 'Quantum Leap,' a lot of sci-fi things came my way, and I had to say, 'I can't do that right now.' -- Scott Bakula
I think if a person plays 'Quantum Conundrum' and they walk away feeling really intelligent and skilled, that's what I want. That's my only goal. -- Kim Swift
Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy, and that's wonderful. -- Bob Hoskins
Quantum field theory was originally developed for the treatment of electrodynamics, immediately after the completion of quantum mechanics and the discovery of the Dirac equation. -- David Gross
Every man's credit is proportioned to the money which he has in his chest. [Lat., Quantum quisque sua nummorum condit in area, Tantum habet et fidei.] -- Juvenal
Quantum physics has found that there is no empty space in the human cell, but it is a teeming, electric-magnet ic field of possibility or potential -- Deepak Chopra
Quantum field theory, which was born just fifty years ago from the marriage of quantum mechanics with relativity, is a beautiful but not very robust child. -- Steven Weinberg
Quantum Leap Thinking [is] an opportunity to get our energy out and target it in the direction of great productivity, leaving us with a feeling of accomplishment. -- Leon Tec
Einstein's theory of relativity does a fantastic job for explaining big things. Quantum mechanics is fantastic for the other end of the spectrum - for small things. -- Brian Greene
Quantum mechanics is weird. I don't understand it. Just live with it. You don't have to understand the nature of things in order to build cool devices. -- Seth Lloyd
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
Quantum theory provides us with a striking illustration of the fact that we can fully understand a connection though we can only speak of it in images and parables. -- Werner Heisenberg
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
Quantum mechanics provides us with an approximate, plausible, conjectural explanation of what actually is, or was, or may be taking place inside a cyclotron during a dark night in February. -- Edward Abbey
Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of. Quick: try to think of a single movie about the horrors of Stalinism. This is not a failure of imagination. This is moral meltdown. -- Mona Charen
Quantum physics is teaching us that particles themselves don't create particles. It's what Jesus said 2,000 years ago, that it's the Spirit that gives life and that you don't get particles from more particles. -- Wayne Dyer
[Quantum mechanics] describes nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And yet it fully agrees with experiment. So I hope you can accept nature as She is - absurd. -- Richard P. Feynman
Quantum science suggests the existence of many possible futures for each moment of our lives. Each future lies in a state of rest until it is awakened by choices made in the present. -- Gregg Braden
Quantum Mechanics is different. Its weirdness is evident without comparison. It is harder to train your mind to have quantum mechanical tuition, because quantum mechanics shatters our own personal, individual conception of reality -- Brian Greene
Quantum physics fluctuates all the time. But now the fluctuations are not just particles coming into and out of existence, which happens all the time. It's whole universes coming into and out of existence. -- Neil deGrasse Tyson
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
Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are both accepted as scientific fact even though they're mutually exclusive. Albert Einstein spent the second half of his life searching for a unifying truth that would reconcile the two. -- Roy H. Williams
It was a dogma throughout most of the 20th century that quantum science only applied to subatomic matter, and we now know that not to be true. One of the major discoveries was Quantum Holography. -- Edgar Mitchell
Quantum physics really begins to point to this discovery. It says that you can't have a Universe without mind entering into it, and that the mind is actually shaping the very thing that is being perceived. -- Fred Alan Wolf
Quantum theory also tells us that the world is not simply objective; somehow it's something more subtle than that. In some sense it is veiled from us, but it has a structure that we can understand. -- John Polkinghorne
Quantum entanglement allows you to send information faster than light, which upset Einstein. But Einstein has the last laugh. The information you send on quantum entanglement is random, useless information. So Einsein still has the last laugh. -- Michio Kaku
Old Newtonian physics claimed that things have an objective reality separate from our perception of them. Quantum physics, and particularly Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, reveal that, as our perception of an object changes, the object itself literally changes. -- Marianne Williamson
Quantum physics tells us that nothing that is observed is unaffected by the observer. That statement, from science, holds an enormous and powerful insight. It means that everyone sees a different truth, because everyone is creating what they see. -- Neale Donald Walsch
Quantum mechanics, that brilliantly successful flagship theory of modern science, is deeply mysterious and hard to understand. Eastern mystics have always been deeply mysterious and hard to understand. Therefore, Eastern mystics must have been talking about quantum theory all along. -- Richard Dawkins
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
Quantum theory tells us, Mr. Thomas, that every point in the universe is intimately connected to every other point, regardless of apparent distance. In some mysterious way, any point on a planet in a distant galaxy is as close to me as you are. -- Dean Koontz
I felt 'Quantum of Solace' completely lost its way. We were lucky on 'Casino Royale:' it was the origin story of Bond. Bond had the one and only affair that meant anything to him, and affected him throughout the rest of the series. -- Martin Campbell
I once pitched this show that was just like 'Quantum Leap,' in terms of the set-up, and I got a pass because they said 'Quantum Leap' didn't work, even though it was on for six or seven seasons. You can't say 'Quantum Leap' didn't work! -- Adam Green
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
The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. -- Paul Davies
Reality has been around since long before you showed up. Don't go calling it nasty names like 'bizarre' or 'incredible'. The universe was propagating complex amplitudes through configuration space for ten billion years before life ever emerged on Earth. Quantum physics is not 'weird'. You are weird. -- Eliezer Yudkowsky
Quantum Leap' gave me a huge opportunity as an actor. The nature of the role and it's demands allowed people to perceive me as a versatile actor, and the wide success of the show around the planet gave me a certain notoriety that helped me get other work. -- Scott Bakula
After the German occupation of Holland in May 1940, the last two dark years of the war I spent hiding indoors from the Nazis, eating tulip bulbs to fill the stomach and reading Kramers' book "Quantum Theorie des Elektrons und der Strahlung" by the light of a storm lamp. -- Nicolaas Bloembergen
Quantum physics forms the foundation of chemistry, explaining how molecules are held together. It describes how real solids and materials behave and how electricity is conducted through them... It enabled the development of transistors, integrated circuits, lasers, LEDs, digital cameras and all the modern gadgetry that surrounds us. -- Neil Turok
Doing is a quantum leap from imagining. -- Barbara Sher
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics. -- Richard P. Feynman
If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science. -- Albert Einstein
Those who are not shocked when they first come across quantum theory cannot possibly have understood it. -- Niels Bohr
Beliefs, and the feelings that we have about them, are the language that "speaks" to the quantum stuff that makes our realty. -- Gregg Braden
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
Our brains are too slow to register that every concrete object is winking in and out of existence at the quantum level thousands of times per second. -- Deepak Chopra
Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy. -- Richard P. Feynman
I cannot seriously believe in it [quantum theory] because the theory cannot be reconciled with the idea that physics should represent a reality in time and space, free from spooky actions at a distance [spukhafte Fernwirkungen]. -- Albert Einstein
It is often stated that of all the theories proposed in this century, the silliest is quantum theory. In fact, some say that the only thing that quantum theory has going for it is that it is unquestionably correct. -- Michio Kaku
There was a time when the newspapers said that only twelve men understood the theory of relativity. I do not believe there ever was such a time ... On the other hand, I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. -- Richard P. Feynman
When asked ... [about] an underlying quantum world, Bohr would answer, 'There is no quantum world. There is only an abstract quantum physical description. It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how nature is. Physics concerns what we can say about Nature.' -- Niels Bohr
Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that this is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not bring us any closer to the secrets of the "Old One." I, at any rate, am convinced that He is not playing at dice. -- Albert Einstein
There is something else that is trying to come through - that lure of becoming - and it does come from the realm of spirit, it does come from the quantum universe, it does come from the great spark that is the threshold of time and history trying to emerge and electrify us. -- Jean Houston
Nothing can create something all the time due to the laws of quantum mechanics, and it's - it's fascinatingly interesting. -- Lawrence M. Krauss
I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics. -- Brian Greene
The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry. -- Brandon Boyd
There was a long history of speculation that in quantum gravity, unlike Einstein's classical theory, it might be possible for the topology of spacetime to change. -- Edward Witten
--
When His Holiness won the Nobel Peace Prize, there was a quantum leap. He is not seen as solely a Tibetan anymore; he belongs to the world. -- Richard Gere
I'm not looking to be a trophy. When not acting, I spend my time studying metaphysics and quantum mechanics to keep my life as grounded as I can. -- Tanit Phoenix
Life is strong and fragile. It's a paradox... It's both things, like quantum physics: It's a particle and a wave at the same time. It all exists all together. -- Joan Jett
In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of what we like to think of as time. -- Richard K. Morgan
The scientists often have more unfettered imaginations than current philosophers do. Relativity theory came as a complete surprise to philosophers, and so did quantum mechanics, and so did other things. -- Robert Nozick
Orwell's '1984' convinced me, rightly or wrongly, that Marxism was only a quantum leap away from tyranny. By contrast, Huxley's 'Brave New World' suggested that the totalitarian systems of the future might be subservient and ingratiating. -- J. G. Ballard
I became an atheist because, as a graduate student studying quantum physics, life seemed to be reducible to second-order differential equations. Mathematics, chemistry and physics had it all. And I didn't see any need to go beyond that. -- Francis Collins
Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws. -- Martin Rees
I'm into the law of attraction and quantum physics. Like cosmic ordering. It's all about thinking lovely things that you would like in life, and feeling good about them before they manifest, so that by the time they do, you don't want them because you're on to your next desire. -- Julia Sawalha
Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang. -- Neil deGrasse Tyson
No one intuitively understands quantum mechanics because all of our experience involves a world of classical phenomena where, for example, a baseball thrown from pitcher to catcher seems to take just one path, the one described by Newton's laws of motion. Yet at a microscopic level, the universe behaves quite differently. -- Lawrence M. Krauss
Trying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability. It involves subtle trickery, beautiful tightropes of logic on which one has to walk in order not to make a mistake in predicting what will happen. The quantum mechanical and the relativity ideas are examples of this. -- Richard P. Feynman
When you look at the calculation, it's amazing that every time you try to prove or disprove time travel, you've pushed Einstein's theory to the very limits where quantum effects must dominate. That's telling us that you really need a theory of everything to resolve this question. And the only candidate is string theory. -- Michio Kaku
I'm fascinated with quantum physics. -- will.i.am
No one really understands quantum mechanics. -- Richard P. Feynman
I am fascinated by quantum physics. -- Vinny Guadagnino
I think more like a quantum -- Stuart Hameroff
Anyone not shocked by quantum mechanics has not yet understood it. -- Niels Bohr

The act of observing a quantum event probabalistically influences its outcome. -- Dean Radin
No language which lends itself to visualizability can describe quantum jumps. -- Max Born
Nature is one. It is not divided into physics, chemistry, quantum mechanics. -- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
I was born the son of a humble mechanic. A quantum mechanic. -- Mark Oliver Everett
Entanglement is not one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics. -- Erwin Schrodinger
If you aren't confused by quantum mechanics, you haven't really understood it. -- Niels Bohr
If you have nothing in quantum mechanics, you will always have something. -- Lawrence M. Krauss
Anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy hasn't understood it. -- Niels Bohr
I think we can safely assume that no one understands quantum mechanics. -- Richard P. Feynman
