A physicist looks for causes that does not necessarily imply that there are causes everywhere. A man may look for gold without assuming that there is gold everywhere if he finds gold, well and good, if he doesn't he's had bad luck. The same is true when the physicists look for causes.
Bertrand Russell

Einstein believed deeply that science should transcend national and ethnic divisions. But he watched physicists and chemists become the purveyors of weapons of mass destruction in the early 20th century.
Krista Tippett

To obtain an assured favorable response from people, it is better to offer them something for their stomachs instead of their brains.
Albert Einstein

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Albert Einstein
Image
The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God.
Leon M. Lederman
Image
Physics is, hopefully, simple. Physicists are not.
Edward Teller
Image
Physicists use 'God' as a metaphor more often than other scientists-- especially in popular writing, but in the technical literature as well. Of course, this is just a metaphor for order at the heart of confusion. A rational or aesthetic pattern underlying reality is far from a theistic God.
Taner Edis

I think one of the things we learned from the physicists and also the theoretical biologists is the idea that when you're dealing with very complex systems you're going to get a large variety of behavior which can be interpreted as hill climbing, but hill climbing with a lot of modifications, hill climbing with big jumps occasionally.
Kenneth Arrow

At the most simplistic level physicists tell us that what we see as reality is not actually accurate. A rock looks solid to us but it's full of empty space and atoms moving and we see it as solid because we need to because it helps us survive, right? Survival being our goal. You can extrapolate that to many other things.

Failure is success in progress
Albert Einstein

A soul might very well exist, but we, as physicists, try to measure and quantify everything. So far, no one has been able to create an experiment to do this for the soul. Efforts have been made to weigh the body after death, but each time we find no evidence of a soul. So a soul may very well exist, but it is not a testable theory.
Michio Kaku

Quantum theory was split up into dialects. Different people describe the same experiences in remarkably different languages. This is confusing even to physicists.
David Finkelstein
Image
The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them.
Albert Einstein

The job of a theoretical physicist is to make mistakes as fast as possible .
John Archibald Wheeler

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein

Self-confidence is an important ingredient that makes for a successful physicist.
Victor Frederick Weisskopf

Interferometry, like surfing, is a search for the perfect wave. But physicists don't have to paddle around and wait.
Ken Goldberg

Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely acknowledged beneficiaries - the arts and humanities.
Lisa Randall
Image
The mathematicians know a great deal about very little and the physicists very little about a great deal.
Stanislaw Ulam
Image
A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment.
Albert Einstein
Image
If a problem is clearly stated, it has no further interest to the physicist.
Peter Debye
Image
Being a physicist, not a philosopher, I have devised an entirely new theory of consciousness, allowing one to numerically calculate the level of consciounsess of humans and even animals.
Michio Kaku

Man owes his strength in the struggle for existence to the fact that he is a social animal.
Albert Einstein

Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
