Lord Kelvin Quotes

I get paid to do what I love. If you understand physics, the foundation of the atomic theory and relativity, you understand how the future is going to unfold. You understand what things are not possible. You understand why things work. I get paid to do what I love the most, and that is to work on the Unified Field Theory and to see the future.

In the history of physics, every time we've looked beyond the scales and energies we were familiar with, we've found things that we wouldn't have thought were there.

We are not at the end but at the beginning of a new physics. But whatever we find, there will always be new horizons continually awaiting us.

I got into physics through pop science and quantum science and ended up being such a quantum groupie.

The birth of science as we know it arguably began with Isaac Newton's formulation of the laws of gravitation and motion. It is no exaggeration to say that physics was reborn in the early 20th-century with the twin revolutions of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity.

The math of quantum mechanics and the math of general relativity, when they confront one another, they are ferocious antagonists and the equations don't work.

Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.

There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end.

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.

I do feel strongly that string theory is our best hope for making progress at unifying gravity and quantum mechanics.

What you can show using physics, forces this universe to continue to exist. As long as you're using general relativity and quantum mechanics you are forced to conclude that God exists.

From a consideration of the immense volume of newly discovered facts in the field of physics, especially atomic physics, in recent years it might well appear to the layman that the main problems were already solved and that only more detailed work was necessary.

Even before string theory, especially as physics developed in the 20th century, it turned out that the equations that really work in describing nature with the most generality and the greatest simplicity are very elegant and subtle.

I'm fascinated with quantum physics.

Modern physics often advances only by sacrificing some of our traditional philosophical convictions

The biggest conceptual change over the last 100 years in the way physicists think about the world is symmetry.

All kinds of physical considerations become senseless when we try to apply them to distances smaller than 10 -13 centimeter.

The more you study quantum mechanics, the more crazy and incomprehensible it becomes. You truly do need a Ph.D. in very high level math and science to understand it at a high, high level.

We must be physicists in order to be creative since so far codes of values and ideals have been constructed in ignorance of physics or even in contradiction to physics.

To become a theoretical physicist ... you need to have a passionate love affair with the universe.

There is only one object on earth that frightens me: a physicist working on a new trick.

Physics depends on a universe infinitely centred on an equals sign.

If you want to penetrate into the heart of physics, then let yourself be initiated into the mysteries of poetry.

Nothing can create something all the time due to the laws of quantum mechanics, and it's - it's fascinatingly interesting.

You almost can't avoid having some version of the multiverse in your studies if you push deeply enough in the mathematical descriptions of the physical universe.
