Physicist Quotes

Bill Bryson quote: "Physicists are atoms' way of thinking about atoms."
Physicists are atoms' way of thinking about atoms. Bill Bryson
Brian Greene quote: "Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used..."
Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth. Brian Greene
Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers. Brian Greene
Richard Dawkins quote: "Physicists are working on the Big Bang, and one day they may..."
Physicists are working on the Big Bang, and one day they may or may not solve it. Richard Dawkins
Physicists and astronomers see their own implications in the world being round, but to me it means that only one-third of the world is asleep at any given time and the other two-thirds is up to something. Dean Rusk
It would be a poor thing to be an atom in a universe without physicists, and physicists are made of atoms. A physicist is an atom's way of knowing about atoms. George Wald
Perhaps a physicist would know at once why this whole idea was absurd. But then, perhaps a physicist would be so locked into the consensus of his scientific community that it would be harder for him to accept an idea that transformed the meaning of everything he knew. Even if it were true. Orson Scott Card
The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about. Clifford Geertz
As a physicist, I can state that none of the 18 physicists who signed the Statement works in this field; nor to my knowledge has ever published a paper on this subject. David Douglass
Physics is becoming so unbelievably complex that it is taking longer and longer to train a physicist. It is taking so long, in fact, to train a physicist to the place where he understands the nature of physical problems that he is already too old to solve them. Eugene Wigner
If the experimental physicist has already done a great deal of work in this field, nevertheless the theoretical physicist has still hardly begun to evaluate the experimental material which may lead him to conclusions about the structure of the atom. Johannes Stark
Chemistry has been termed by the physicist as the messy part of physics, but that is no reason why the physicists should be permitted to make a mess of chemistry when they invade it. Frederick Soddy
Medical physicists work in cooperation with doctors. A few medical physicists devote their time to research and teaching. A few get involved with administrative duties. John Cameron
In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by just a little. That doesn't mean anything. For us convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, albeit a persistent one Albert Einstein
What are Americans? We've got everything from sharecroppers to atomic physicist here, and there's certainly no uniformity in their thought processes. There's very little they have in common. In fact, Americans should we say, have less in common than any other nationality. William S. Burroughs
