Physicists Quotes (page 2)

In mysticism, knowledge cannot be separated from a certain way of life which becomes its living manifestation. To acquire mystical knowledge means to undergo a transformation; one could even say that the knowledge is the transformation. Scientific knowledge, on the other hand, can often stay abstract and theoretical. Thus most of today’s physicists do not seem to realize the philosophical, cultural and spiritual implications of their theories. Lois McMaster Bujold
Great physicists, great mathematicians, great chemists, and publishers knew that one was always feeling one’s way in the dark. Roberto Bolano
When asked what characteristics Nobel prize winning physicists had in common I cannot think of a single one, not even intelligence Enrico Fermi
After all, is it not the way we humans shape the universe, shape time itself? Do we not take the raw stuff of chaos and impose a beginning, middle, and end on it, like the simplest and most profound of folktales, to reflect the shapes of our own tiny lives? And if the physicists are right, that the physical world changes as it is observed, and we are its only known observers, then might we not be bending the entire chaotic universe, the eternal, ever-active Now, to fit that familiar form? Tad Williams
Heaven has become for us the cosmic space of the physicists... But 'the heart glows,' and a secret unrest gnaws at the roots of our being. Carl Jung
Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things. They wonder how the snowplough driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spelling of words. Terry Prachett
If the physicists seem to achieve their ends more successfully than the theologians, that is simply a reflection of how much easier science is than theology. John Polkinghorne
Elizabeth Moon quote: "My first degree came years before my second. I had wanted to..."
My first degree came years before my second. I had wanted to be a physicist, but I flunked calculus. Elizabeth Moon
Someone like Einstein was quite clearly a moralist, and he had a very highly developed political vision and was very spiritual in his way, and there are many biologists and physicists of the first order who are like that. Jonathan Miller
As we know from the work of certain fundamental physicists, people like Einstein were very dependent upon conjuring up visual images in order to imagine things which otherwise were not easily formulated. Jonathan Miller
Philip Emeagwali quote: "I wanted to become a mathematician, physicist or astronomer."
I wanted to become a mathematician, physicist or astronomer. Philip Emeagwali
Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality. Friedrich Durrenmatt
No one gets angry at a mathematician or a physicist whom he or she doesn't understand, or at someone who speaks a foreign language, but rather at someone who tampers with your own language. Jacques Derrida
Terry Prachett quote: "Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree."
Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree. Terry Prachett
The delicate and intricate pattern of competition and cooperation in the economic behavior of the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Stockholm offers a challenge to the economist that is perhaps as complex as the challenges of the physicist and the chemist. George Stigler
