Basic research is what I am doing when I don't know what I am doing.
Wernher von Braun
Image
There is beauty in space, and it is orderly. There is no weather, and there is regularity. It is predictable. Just look at our little Explorer you can set your clock by it-literally it is more accurate than your clock. Everything in space obeys the laws of physics. If you know these laws, and obey them, space will treat you kindly.
Wernher von Braun

They can shout down the head of the physics department at Cal Tech.
James Stockdale
Image
The laws of physics and chemistry must be the same in a crucible as in the larger laboratory of Nature.
Alfred Harker
Image
The next grand extensions of mathematical physics will, in all likelihood, be furnished by quaternions.
Peter Tait
Image
Geometry is the noblest branch of physics.
William Fogg Osgood
Image
In science, if the last 50 years were the age of physics, the next 50 years will be the age of biology.
William J. Clinton
Image
The more I learn of physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.
Albert Einstein
Image
[Max Planck] was one of the finest people I have ever known... but he really didn't understand physics, [because] during the eclipse of 1919 he stayed up all night to see if it would confirm the bending of light by the gravitational field. If he had really understood [general relativity], he would have gone to bed the way I did
Albert Einstein
Image
Body and soul are not two different things, but only two different ways of perceiving the same thing. Similarly, physics and psychology are only different attempts to link our experiences together by way of systematic thought.
Albert Einstein
Image
What physics looks for: The simplest possible system of thought which will bind together the observed facts.
Albert Einstein
Image
Only in mathematics and physics was I, through self-study, far beyond the school curriculum, and also with regard to philosophy as it was taught in the school curriculum.
Albert Einstein
Image
Curiosity has its own reason for existence.
Albert Einstein
Image
Politics is more difficult than physics.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the 20th century philosophy of time for a great many theorists became part of science because it was time as is studied in physics that became the object of philosophical speculation. That's very different from the way time has normally been understood.
William Lane Craig
Image
In quitting this strange world he has once again preceded me by a little. That doesn't mean anything. For those of us who believe in physics, this separation between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however tenacious.
Albert Einstein
Image
Nothing happens until something moves.
Albert Einstein
Image
If [quantum theory] is correct, it signifies the end of physics as a science.
Albert Einstein
Image
There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality.
Albert Einstein
Image
In the matter of physics, the first lessons should contain nothing but what is experimental and interesting to see. A pretty experiment is in itself often more valuable than twenty formulae extracted from our minds.
Albert Einstein
Image
Our entire much-praised technological progress, and civilization generally, could be compared to an axe in the hand of a pathological criminal.
Albert Einstein
Image
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Albert Einstein
Image
If I can't picture it, I can't understand it.
Albert Einstein
Image
If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
