Most Famous Physics Quotes of All Time!

One quote credits a towering influence on twentieth-century physics as even greater than Einstein's, while another recounts a research assistantship in electron microscopy that followed a professor's recommendation. Read more in Chemistry quotes.

Would physics at Geneva be as good as physics at Harvard? I think not. Rome? I think not. In Britain, I don't think there is one place, neither Cambridge nor Oxford, which can compare with Harvard.

Quotes by Sheldon Lee Glashow

There's something called From 'Alchemy to Quarks,' which will teach you everything you have to know, you want to know, about physics.

Quotes by Sheldon Lee Glashow

One of the principal achievements of physics in the 20th century has been the revelation that the atom is not indivisible or elementary at all but has a complex structure.

Quotes by Sheldon Lee Glashow

It's hardly a secret that I'm skeptical of declarations that the aliens are out and about on our planet. Still, I try to answer every one of these mails and phone calls because, after all, it's not a violation of...

Quotes by Seth Shostak

My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane.

Quotes by Sally Ride

In the late '30's when I was in college, physics - and in particular, nuclear physics - was the most exciting field in the world.

Quotes by Rosalyn Sussman Yalow

I have a problem with telling jokes about physics. Quite often the audience have no idea what you are talking about and, to be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about either.

Quotes by Robin Ince

My high school career was undistinguished except for math and science. However, having barely been admitted to Rice University, I found that I enjoyed the courses and the elation of success and graduated with honors in physics. I did a...

Quotes by Robert Woodrow Wilson

Following Rice, I went to Caltech for a Ph.D in physics, without any strong idea of what I wanted to do for a thesis topic.

Quotes by Robert Woodrow Wilson

There is a close analogy between organic chemistry in its relation to biochemistry and pure mathematics in its relation to physics.

Quotes by Robert Robinson

Modern science cannot explain why the laws of physics are exactly balanced for animal life to exist.

Quotes by Robert Lanza

That's absolutely correct and in addition to that life just isn't an accident of the laws of physics. There's a long list of experiments that suggest just the opposite.

Quotes by Robert Lanza

Physics tells us observations can't be predicted absolutely. Rather, there's a range of possible observations each with a different probability.

Quotes by Robert Lanza

The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is the world's greatest pure physics thinktank, and it's located here in Canada, in Waterloo, Ont.

Quotes by Robert J. Sawyer

If you miss one day in physics, that's it.

Quotes by Robert Iler

I was not an especially diligent student but nevertheless obtained a reasonable education in physics.

Quotes by Robert Coleman Richardson

Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.

Quotes by Richard P. Feynman

I decided to sell my drawings. However, I didn't want people to buy my drawings because the professor of physics isn't supposed to be able to draw - isn't that wonderful - so I made up a false name.

Quotes by Richard P. Feynman

Often one postulates that a priori, all states are equally probable. This is not true in the world as we see it. This world is not correctly described by the physics which assumes this postulate.

Quotes by Richard P. Feynman

Atoms are very special: they like certain particular partners, certain particular directions, and so on. It is the job of physics to analyze why each one wants what it wants.

Quotes by Richard P. Feynman
