Philosophy treats of physics where a more careful knowledge is required because the problems which come under this head are numerous... So the reader of Ctesibius or Archimedes and the other writers of treatises of the same class will not be able to appreciate them unless he has been trained in these subjects by the philosophers.
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
Image
I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.
Stephen Hawking
Image
Without a movement pressing for change, there's little hope. We've got to work the political system to make this happen fast. The physics and chemistry are daunting. The resources on the other side are very large.
Bill McKibben

Galileo - the father of modern physics - indeed of modern science.
Albert Einstein
Image
[T]he atoms or elementary particles themselves are not real they form a world of potentialities or possibilities rather than one of things or facts.
Werner Heisenberg
Image
To talk intelligibly about modern physics, we have to admit the possibility of uncaused events.
Taner Edis

[Computer science] is not really about computers and it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not about microscopes and Petri dishes... and geometry isn't really about using surveying instruments.
Hal Abelson

Earlier in this century, the Heisenberg Principle established that the very act of observing a natural phenomenon can change what is being observed. Although the initial theory was limited in practice to special cases in subatomic physics, the philosophical implications were and are staggering.
Al Gore

We're machines for turning caffeine into physics
Nima Arkani-Hamed
Image
In modern physics, the universe is experienced as a dynamic inseparable whole which always includes the observer in an essential way.
Fritjof Capra
Image
I do believe it is the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics for the World Trade Center Tower Seven, building seven, which collapsed in on itself.
Rosie O'Donnell

The abstract analysis of the world by mathematics and physics rests on the concepts of space and time.
James J. Gibson
Image
Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The fact that natural selection and evolution crafted essentially carbon and water into a mechanism that can think and be conscious means there's nothing in physics that says you cannot do that to a greater degree.
Neill Blomkamp

Albert Einstein, who discovered that a tiny amount of mass is equal to a huge amount of energy, which explains why, as Einstein himself so eloquently put it in a famous 1939 speech to the Physics Department at Princeton, 'You have to exercise for a week to work off the thigh fat from a single Snickers.'
Dave Barry
Image
The great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton
Image
It would be most satisfactory if physics and psyche could be seen as complementary aspects of the same reality
Wolfgang Paul
Image
Physical changes take place continuously, while chemical changes take place discontinuously. Physics deals chiefly with continuous varying quantities, while chemistry deals chiefly with whole numbers.
Max Planck
Image
Trying to get a read on Apple Computer is a lot like learning about quantum physics you can never know Apple's position on a technology, and its direction, simultaneously.
Mark Pesce
Image
This is absolutely correct and forms part of the larger concept that top-down causation is a key factor not just in the way the brain works but in broader contexts in biology and even physics.
George F. R. Ellis
Image
In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be known with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities.
Richard P. Feynman
Image
The fundamental principle of human action, the law, that is to political economy what the law of gravitation is to physics is that men seek to gratify their desires with the least exertion
Henry George
Image
... it is as true in morals as in physics that all force is imperishable therefore the consequences of a human action never cease.
