  • I am fascinated by quantum physics. -- Vinny Guadagnino
  • Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe. -- Erwin Schrodinger
  • 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
  • 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
  • If someone says that he can think or talk about quantum physics without becoming dizzy, that shows only that he has not understood anything whatever about it. -- Murray Gell-Mann
  • The possibilities that are suggested in quantum physics tell us that everything that we're looking at may not be in fact there, so the underlying nature of being is weird. -- William Shatner
  • 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
  • Observations not only disturb what is to be measured, they produce it. -- Pascual Jordan
  • I like to think the moon is there even if I am not looking at it. -- Albert Einstein
  • Memories are not recycled like atoms and particles in quantum physics; they can be lost forever. -- Lady Gaga
  • [T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real; they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts. -- Werner Heisenberg
  • As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. -- Albert Einstein
  • Trying to get a read on Apple Computer is a lot like learning about quantum physics; you can never know Apple's position on a technology, and its direction, simultaneously. -- Mark Pesce
  • 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
  • The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model. -- Erwin Schrodinger
  • 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
  • In the beginning there were only probabilities. The universe could only come into existence if someone observed it. It does not matter that the observers turned up several billion years later. The universe exists because we are aware of it. -- Martin Rees
  • For bedtime reading, I usually curl up with a good monograph on quantum physics or string theory, my specialty. But since I was a child, I have been fascinated by science fiction. My all-time favorite is 'The Foundation Trilogy,' by Isaac Asimov. -- Michio Kaku
  • What really matters for me is ... the more active role of the observer in quantum physics ... According to quantum physics the observer has indeed a new relation to the physical events around him in comparison with the classical observer, who is merely a spectator. -- Wolfgang Pauli
  • To understand that, we have to begin to imagine what a universe would be like if there wasn't anything in it called Mind. If that was the case, according to quantum physics now, then every possibility would also come into existence as every other possibility. -- Fred Alan Wolf
  • If a handful of people look at the making of the film and realize, "Oh, my god!" It was so complicated. It was like doing quantum physics calculations every day while you're telling a joke. It was so insane! So, they can feel my pain. -- Rob Letterman
  • When the province of physical theory was extended to encompass microscopic phenomena through the creation of quantum mechanics, the concept of consciousness came to the fore again. It was not possible to formulate the laws of quantum mechanics in a fully consistent way without reference to the consciousness. -- Eugene Wigner
  • It's starting to catch hold, and in large measure it's because we're starting to understand that much of what we have talked about in ancient mythology and mystical experience and so forth can pretty well be modeled within the world of quantum physics. That's a 20th century phenomenon also. -- Edgar Mitchell
  • Quantum physics presents a new and exciting worldview that challenges old concepts, such as deterministic trajectories of motion and causal continuity. If initial conditions do not forever determine an object's motion, if instead, every time we observe, there is a new beginning, then the world is creative at the base level. -- Amit Goswami
  • I believe in God the way I believe in quarks. People whose business it is to know about quantum physics or religion tell me they have good reason to believe that quarks and God exist. And they tell me that if I wanted to devote my life to learning what they've learned, I'd find quarks and God just like they did. -- Mary Doria Russell
  • I'm fascinated with quantum physics. -- will.i.am
  • I've always been fascinated by quantum physics and the possibility of alternate realities. -- James Dashner
  • Thinking about quantum physics is like unraveling your brain and putting it back together again upside down. Much like studying Kabbalah. -- Rebecca Pidgeon
  • Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology. -- Micky Dolenz
  • 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 something uniquely interesting about Buddhism and mathematics, particularly about quantum physics, and where they meet. That has fascinated us for a long time. -- Andy Wachowski
  • 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
  • Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons. -- John Polkinghorne
  • 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
  • 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
  • The real problem with natural selection is that it makes no intuitive sense. It is like quantum physics; we may intellectually grasp it, but it will never feel right to us. -- Paul Bloom
  • I'm a big believer in quantum physics, which says that the universe is more incredible and mysterious than any of us can imagine, which is my way of saying, 'Anything is possible, including angels.' -- Caroline Leavitt
  • 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
  • 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
  • I'm very moved by chaos theory, and that sense of energy. That quantum physics. We don't really, in Hindu tradition, have a father figure of a God. It's about cosmic energy, a little spark of which is inside every individual as the soul. -- Bharati Mukherjee
  • 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
  • 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
  • Science works because the phenomenon being described can be relied on to remain the same. Even in quantum physics, where phenomena are changed by observation, the way in which observation interferes is regular and falls within a limited range of possibilities. Human culture, however, has the nasty habit of never staying the same for very long. -- Julian Baggini
  • There does seem to be a sense in which physics has gone beyond what human intuition can understand. We shouldn't be too surprised about that because we're evolved to understand things that move at a medium pace at a medium scale. We can't cope with the very tiny scale of quantum physics or the very large scale of relativity. -- Richard Dawkins
  • Quantum mechanics has explained all of chemistry and most of physics. -- Paul Dirac
  • Quantum physics shows us the universe as a dynamic web of connection. -- Robert Moss

  • --
  • Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. -- Edward Witten
  • Since the founding of quantum mechanics in the 1920s, theoretical physics had nurtured an extremely radical tradition. -- David Gross
  • I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie. -- Talulah Riley
  • Theology, philosophy, metaphysics, and quantum physics are merely ways for God to have his smart people believe in him -- Jeremy Aldana
  • Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive. -- Elon Musk
  • For many years quantum physics had been giving indications that there are levels of reality other than the material level. -- Amit Goswami
  • Ultimately, my Ph.D. is in mathematical physics, focusing on quantum field theory and curved space-time, and I worked with Stephen Hawking. -- Nathan Myhrvold
  • --
  • It is a bizarre world. It is an upside down, inside out, quantum physics world. It is the eve of destruction in America. -- Glenn Beck
  • 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
  • Classical physics has been superseded by quantum theory: quantum theory is verified by experiments. Experiments must be described in terms of classical physics. -- Carl Friedrich von Weizsacker
  • All the quantum physics experiments have occurred chiefly on the atomic scale and we are taught to believe that nature's laws are consistent. -- Mitch Horowitz
  • I think nerdy stuff is sexy. I like to watch the History Channel and learn about the universe, quantum physics and stuff like that. -- Tila Tequila
  • 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
  • I think science and spirituality are one and the same, I don't think they're really different...quantum physics is validating all kinds of spiritual teachings. -- Jennifer Beals
  • 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
  • To me quantum computation is a new and deeper and better way to understand the laws of physics, and hence understanding physical reality as a whole. -- David Deutsch
  • After 12 years in the minor leagues, I don't try out. Besides, uh, I don't believe in quantum physics when it comes to matters of the heart. -- Crash Davis
  • I just really like ants, and I really like science. I was interested and curious about the quantum world and the physics behind how it all works. -- Evangeline Lilly
  • Everything that can happen, does. That's quantum mechanics. But this does not mean everything happens. The rest of physics is about describing what can happen and what can't. -- Antony Garrett Lisi
  • Everyone and everything that shows up in the world of form in this universe originates not from a particle, as quantum physics teaches us, but from an energy field. -- Wayne Dyer
  • We have to have a combination of general relativity that describes the warping of space and time, and quantum physics, which describes the uncertainties in that warping and how they change. -- Kip Thorne
  • 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
