Physics is becoming too difficult for the physicists.
David Hilbert

Physics is experience, arranged in economical order.
Ernst Mach

Physics is nothing but the ABC's. Nature is an equation with an unknown, a Hebrew word which is written only with consonants to which reason has to add the dots.
Johann G. Hamann

Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.
Edward Teller

Physiology is the science which treats of the properties of organic bodies, animal and vegetable, of the phenomena they present, and of the laws which govern their actions. Inorganic substances are the objects of other sciences, - physics and chemistry.
Johannes P. Muller

Politics follows the lines of physics: every action creates an equal and opposite reaction.
John Avlon

Quantum mechanics brought an unexpected fuzziness into physics because of quantum uncertainty, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Edward Witten

Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.
Erwin Schrodinger

Relativity must replace absolutism in the realm of morals as well as in the spheres of physics and biology.
Thomas Cochrane

Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics.
Jean M. Auel

So Whitehead's metaphysics doesn't fit very well on to physics as we understand the process of the world.
John Polkinghorne

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.
Abdus Salam

Teaching physics at the University, and more general lecturing to wider audiences has been a major concern.
Antony Hewish

Thanks to the high standing which science has for so long attain and to the impartiality of the Nobel Prize Committee, the Nobel Prize for Physics is rightly considered everywhere as the highest reward within the reach of workers in Natural Philosophy.
Guglielmo Marconi

That attitude does not exist so much today, but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics.
Gordon Gould

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.
Robert Lanza

The abstract analysis of the world by mathematics and physics rests on the concepts of space and time.
James J. Gibson

The creation of Physics is the shared heritage of all mankind. East and West, North and South have equally participated in it.
Abdus Salam

The development of physics, like the development of any science, is a continuous one.
Owen Chamberlain

The divine spark leaps from the finger of God to the finger of Adam, whether it takes ultimate shape in a law of physics or a law of the land, a poem or a policy, a sonata or a mechanical computer.
Alfred Whitney Griswold
